you can use a H or L yolk, they are ecxactly the same, apart from the hole for the stem on an L model is bigger, bet that can easily be bushed (if you know someone with a lath).

I operate a lathe all day mate $\:D/$
I think they are H1 forks.

H stem is just a little bit longer than KR1. don't know how much, 5mm or so. all the rest is the same.
