Does anyone know if aftermarket CRF50 forks will fit on a K3-78 z50 Frame, without modifications? I am wondering if there are any clearance/fitment issues in doing this..

(..besides the added height of course.)

What I mean is.. Is there any difference in the steering stem/neck area that will prevent a proper match? I'm looking to bolt them up and ride, if possible.

If you have any idea, please let me know. Thanks!

For instance.. BBR forks + 1973 z50 frame = ???

They bolt right up but have a narrower triple and you can't run wide wheels with them. In other words, the distance between the fork legs is smaller then that of the Z50 and Honda Monkey fork legs.

So you will need to run CRF50 wheels.

I was gonna ask the same question, but will you have to get a longer swinger to level the bike out? or can you just run a crf wheel in the rear? any mods needed to run the wheel in the rear?

You can run CRF wheels front and back. The forks bolt right up. The CRF hub and brake panel are slightly wider for the rear so you have to shorten the wheel spacer and the brake panel a little to make it fit the Z swingarm. No big deal though really.
