If you can make a huge saving like getting all those parts new for £200 , then you can spend the extra dosh on the forks . The forks allow you to fit the Brembo brake which one looks the danglies and two stops a hell of a lot better than the DTR caliper . With SM wheels you'll kinda need that . As said , it's easy to fit them , takes about 10 mins . Only problem is finding them second hand .
If your wheels come with a DTX front hub you will have no choice but to source the forks too .
How much can you find these forks going for? Anyone know where i can get them? Im supin' the bike up see and supermoto would probably be the best thing to change? I phoned him yesterday, hes sold out he might be gettin them back in soon though

Thing is there is no 'extra dosh' because for a month ive known they have been £200 so i was planning on gettin just the wheels and whacking them on :( Look like il have to get Avon Distanzias for now!
if the hubs, rims and tyres are good then buy them. haggle it down to 180. wave the paper under the guys nose. if he has been selling them for a month and no joy then he will take 180!!! Forks do come up on ebay. I found a set for £40 eventually, front caliper go for around £30-40 but the look to be the same as the brembos on ALOT of bikes so shouldnt be hard to find.
You would also get the money back on all the parts if you sell the bike before eventually sm'ing it.
oh yeh also need speedo drive and front axle..
