I got lucky. Bought forks - WP Extreme (not USD) 50 mm (!!!), all adjustable (same as Hessler recommends), with air bleeders and all pieces including front brake + front supermoto wheel from Husaberg (17 inch, fits into that forks) + rear 17 inch supermoto Husaberg wheel (I can use rim from it to relace it to DR wheel). This should take care of front suspension + riding on asphalt wheels set. All together 460 euros (includes delivery). Lot of work for me now
Yeah! 
Oooeee err ...... nice

just had some luck...
But main thing for me is WP Extreme. Some experienced guys tell me it works better than most of "stock" USD WP forks 45-46 mm you find on light and lc4 bikes, and at 50 mm tubes flex is about same as on FAT USD forks. The next step up is only 48 mm 950-990 forks or awesome 47 mm CRF450 Showa (dual chamber, but those are "harder" type of forks, more of ultimate jumping set). But having fork protectors, air bleeders already installed and all yokes and axles is a hell of advantage for man without milling machine (me)
Noticed 3-bolt setup on lower yoke? Yeah, that rocks!

BTW - 50 mm is tickiest non-USD forks ever made 
I just put photo to photo DR to Husaberg 600....mamma mia, those forks look huge comparing to stock 43 mm...I hope I will have enough clearance to keep turining angle

I guess I have to be patient and wait. I think WP Extremes have about 300 mm stroke...might need to make new spacers. And order new springs.
They come off Husaberg FE600. Same forks were used on rally bikes and stock KTM full-motocross bikes.
