I replaced the whole front end on my pregen zzr250 with a KR1-S one with 41mm forks & installed a spare set of cartridges from my VFR800 & VTR1000 forks I had to hand. I already had the Ohlins shock from a new gen fitted. I also fitted a KR1-S alloy swingarm. The suspension was good before but now it's awesome. Best bit is the new linkage ratio for the swingarm is now perfect for the shock spring which was to soft for the original setup.
