I'm looking to upgrade my 1982 honda 185s' front suspension. Are 200x front forks compatible with the frame? What about 250r 250sx or 350x ?
Any help at all would be appreciated, Thanks!

Been researching this myself. It appears the necks are different size, and you need to cut weld 185 center post on tree onto the doner triple tree. I dont know if you can run a different brearing size to fit or have to cut.
This is just what I've found so far. Am still researching.

Ol Deuce has a conversion to use the 185S stem in the 200X triple clamps. I have done a couple, and is a sweet deal.

Do you still make these conversions? Interested in purchasing one.
