they are junk and feel very unstable, but if you are set on it just get xr/crf 50 or 70 forks and the xr/crf 50 wheels with brakes. The crf fork legs are identical to the a ones but with tabs to mount fork guards. It is the top half of the forks that need to be swapped out. Don't forget you will still need a big bar kit so expect to spend a few hundred on the conversion and it will feel like a bicycle.
