    Question Complete fork swap ?

    Has anyone did a swap of the complete fork assy. from a 250sx to a '84 and older Big Red?? My Big Red has a bent left fork in side spring and shock are shot,and I would imagine the right side isn't much better!

    Yep, another set of the same exact forks will fit, but he asked to put COMPLETE 250SX fork assembly on it, and that's what OM did. The original neck is too small to fit the SX triples, so you have to sawp the neck from a 200X, 250SX, mabey a 250R or 350X. Or option B is to go buy a 250SX. Personally I wouldn't do it (cut the neck off two trikes), but to each his own.
