aftermarket front suspension questions

I see these MX style fiddys with hydraulic damped front forks from other bikes etc. What are people using for triple clamps? Obviously, you can't use the stock forks/triple. Is there a compnay that makes them? And are you limited to only using say, KDX forks or are all forks pretty much the same in diameter up top? Axle sizes comparable/identical? Ok, I'm done asking questions. Anybody?

TTr90 forks work.Xr70 forks work.Kingracing and bbr make triple clamps for these forks and I know BBr also sells an axle.You may have to do some modifications on the brake stop.

how much did you guys pay for your mr50 forks and trees? I found a set for $50.

bah...just realized I'm not gonna be able to run longer forks, my cables are already stretched too far.
