ZH forks have the same diameter upper shock tube as the HK390 but they are about 6/7 mm longer . looks like they will hit the steering rods if you slide them up in the triple clamps . front axle is the same diameter .ZH rear tire is a close fit but needs different pulley / belt combo to work .

Micky Teng got back and said they are 11mm. That is the same as what fits in my m8r setup.

Is the hk390 any better with the zh forks?

The standard forks work very well, I just use a tiny amount of Tamiya friction grease in them.
