1983 KTM 495 brake conversion

[454MRW]

I am currently restoring a very early RM370A for a friend in the Military from Ohio who has recently aquired a very nice 1983 Pro-Lever KTM 495 with a front disc brake. He would like to trade for, or purchase, a set of earlier forks/front wheel/drum brake set up so that he can enter some Post Vintage class events. Please contact me if you have any leads on the parts he needs for the conversion. Thanks, Mike

Mike, All the stuff he would need is easily obtained off E Bay.
*79-82 conical front wheel assy (some 83's had a junk english hub)
*82-83 40mm Marz right side up fork assy
I have plenty of the brake backing plates. just look for the wheel. Come to think of it I may have a spare set of the forks.  I will check.
Call me if you have any questions. 309-231-6477
