I bought a front end off someone for my 250sx, and he said it was a 200x, i never looked at it much and just put it on.. then i ordered the front brake caliper to fit a 200x front end and it didnt fit, so i took a better look at it and noticed the axle is mounted on the bottom and the 200x axle is mounted on the front, then i thought maybe 250r but from what i seen they are all mounted on the back. Does anyone know what these might have come off of(picture attached)? keep in mind the front hub and axle in the picture are for a 200x/250sx.. just wondering about the forks and rest of the front end?

head light is from a 250sx, the forks to me look like an 83 200x, but i might be wrong. are you sure you didnt order the the brake caliper for a newer 200x?

I'm no expert, but those are really long fork lowers. Looks like the mounts for the caliper are way too high -- like the caliper would hit the tire. Could the fork legs be from a motorcycle?

I was thinking they might be off a motorcycle too, just because caliper mount is so high.. probably gonna have to make a mount or something

86-87 200x tripples, with unknown whats looks like streetbike forks on it. those are not any atc forks.

you can run 83-87 200x forks in those triples and all of your stuff will bolt on. pic up a set off ebay if ya can. I'm out or I'd sell ya a set cheap.
