Don't be mad, go shop for a Newer set of KYB forks, I've tried Ohlins inserts on a few bikes and after running a tuned set of KYB's on the Beta I can say they are hands down better and less than half the cost for the conversion.

The fork lug where the rebound adjuster threads in is 6.85mm thick, while the later YZ lugs (08+ I think) are only 3.5mm or so in that region and susceptible to smashing in. I'll add photos when I get a chance.

I will wait to see the racing later in the year. NED
