If anyone wants to supermoto their CR500AF and swap the stock Showa forks, wheel, brakes etc. for a 50mm Marzocchi setup with a Brembo radial disk let me know. My Husqvarna SM510R is basically a TC/TE bike but with a lower SM-specific front-end. I would consider converting it for off-road if I could swap the front end. It's too expensive to do a parts swap to convert the SM forks and brake for the TC/TE version.

I think the 96 did have zokes, the Wp extremes didn't show up I think until 98? the extremes are one of the best conventional forks. The best was the big Showa conventional that was on 97/98 Rm's and believe it or not DRZ's (with dif valving of course). Changing forks isn't that hard, you may have to machine bushings to use different stems and or axles. I put a set of the big Showa conventionals on my Maico with a little machining and a hand made brake stay.
