(cr250 forks) not sure if they would work, but the crf230 is almost double the weight of a cr85 .

Re: What is a good fork coversion for crf230???

^^ 2003 was the first year the 150/230's came out.

You'll get a lot of info. over on Thumpertalk about the fork conversion. A lot of guys go with the CR250 forks I believe. But, most have to shorten the forks because they are long. They say the CR85's are too small of a fork for the larger 230. On the 150's, they work good, but since the 230 is a larger bike all around, the 85 forks are pretty dinky.
Getting this info. from the guys over on TT.

There are a lot more modifications to do for the 125/250 forks than if you were using the 85 forks.

CR125/250 forks are way to long and would just chopper out the bike. CR85RB forks would be best if you want tall.
