The KYB internals can be top notch, what prompted Dal Soggio? I know they have a great reputation. Please clarify what you meant about a Beta kit rather than KYB Yamaha kit? Thanks for the photos, have you got any of them installed?
Let us know once you get a chance to ride and sort them. Cool project. How much is this all going to cost?
Yep, full bolt on kit, no machining and you can use original triple clamp, brake caliber, wheel and offset stays the same.
I have few KYB kits in my stock and one at the moment mounted to my RR430. Problem is that with Beta lugs, you cant get KYB internals/rebound adjusters work without custom machined adapters/parts. Thats why the Dal Soggio kit must be purchased specifically for Beta, so it bolts on straight to Beta axle lugs(Dal Soggio Sachs hydraulic stops/oil locks and rebound adjusters are on the left on the first photo).
I like KYB SSS forks very much and have them pretty much dialed in for me, but I have Dal Soggio Spheres in my KX450 instead of air fork and they perform very very well so wanted to test these in my Beta. When you have good working fork cartridges and you add into that new A-kit tubes with all the coatings to minimize the friction, these should be next level. We will see when the weather gets better so I can test these.
Total price is little less than new WP CV forks, when you add all the costs. I got pretty good prices from finnish Dal Soggio importer, they ordered also all the KYB hardware directly from Technical Touch Belgium for my doorstep.
