Hello and thanks for the comment. Primarily it serves to hold the spring in place. Second to that the spring perch can provide compression damping resistance.
Would it be possible to swap the Showa forks that come stock on a 2019 RMZ450 with KYB SSS forks from a late model Yamaha if they’re both 48mm forks? Wondering if the front caliper and front axle from the Suzuki would work with the KYBs without issue or if I’d have to swap the front wheel and front brake too? I’ve always loved the plushness of KYB suspension over Showa.
This looks totally doable…I’m in…going to grab a set for my 2019.
Can the WP 6500 kit utilize the JBI Pro Perch?
That version is still in development with release date of Summer 2024.
what purpose does the perch serve in the fork? I'm new to suspension and only know the very basics. Thanks

@@RideJBIis there anymore info on why we should by one rather than just revalve? Is it deep stroke resistance?

A direct swap would work from RMZ250 which comes with KYB.
The Yamaha forks would take extra effort to swap over.
@@RideJBI right on…thanks for letting me know.
