    @claws if money is a limiting factor then leave the bike alone. Modifications are rarely cheap.

      @claws I’d leave it mate, you may get infinitely lucky and pick a set up that directly bolts in but the chances of that would be extremely slim as per @Calum guide you need custom spacers etc it’s not the worst thing in the world to do but you need to be committed to the job and doing it properly you can’t really short cut this

        What front forks would go on my dt? Preferably upside-down ones and without having to mod the triple clamps to fit the bike

        @claws See here bud, this set-up is probably the closest you will get to a straight bolt on mod for USD's. It still required one spacer and the whole front end from an Aprilia MX 125, but the thread shows whats needed.

        https://dt125r.co.uk/topic/1020/dtdr-build

        But @Calum guide is very comprehensive, but again spacers are required. Also see this thread;

        SEDUCED BY THE DARK SIDE!!!

            @claws That sounds a bit overkill? Could you have not had your forks rebuilt? Can get the stanchions rechromed if they were damaged.

                      @Walney-Reptiles actually bought the bike with the rims already on. kinda sad that i don't have the enduro wheels as well but no can do. and i think that the wheels are from a wr125x
