My 1985 200x Build

[Mackus84]

Got my rear shock back on. Filled it with nitrogen this morning. The guy was only able to get 250 psi into it. Hopefully doesnt make too big of a difference. Starting to come together! Gonna send the cylinder and head off this week for a bore job, and head rebuilt, new valves, springs, guides seals n all that. Oh, also got a nice shiny new cheapo tail light off ebay. Exact copy of the oem, (hopefully the quality is too!)

SHEEEEE'S A ROLLER!!!! After getting the rear shock nitrogen filled yesterday, i wanted to see how it sat and felt, so i thew the hubs on and some little 19" roll around tires. Adjusted the shock pre-load pretty tight(im 6' 2" 250). It feels great! Not too soft, not too hard. Ordered some polished Itp wheels, and gonna go with 20x11-8 ITP Holeshots for the rear. Still got a long way to go but shes coming together!

Putting new tires on mine this week, and I think I'm going with Razr's in the rear. Any reason why you went with 20" instead of 22"? Just trying to get as much info as I can before I order.

Honestly, just because i think smaller looks alot better. I was thinking 18's, but the roll arounds i have it on right now are 18's and it sits too low for my liking. So im going with 20's and gonna throw a 13T front sprocket on to make up the difference

I think 20 inch tires are what should have been on the 200x stock. They just sit right.

Got the head sent out to get rebuilt by GH Discount Atv Supply for new valves, guides and seals and bead blasting, cylinder should be sent out tomorrow if i get my piston kit in. Went with 10.25:1 Wiseco 65.5mm kit. So itll be .20 over. Got the bottom end stripped and painted. Looks pretty good IMO. Thinking im gonna leave the top end bare aluminum and the bottom black. Havent decuded yet.Cant wait to get the motor back so i can put this girl together!

Got the CR rear master cylinder mod done. Well, mounted. I used a thread on 3WW as reference. Drilled out the CR master bolts holes with a 5/16 bit to accomodate the stock 200x bolts. I only made my spacers .300 instead of .375. That allowed me to use the stock bolts in that spot rather than needing longer ones which i didnt have, i had some too long, or too short. So i gave it JUST enough room with the .30 spacers to re use the stock bolts. The master is off of a 2002 Cr 80 i believe. Cost like $18 for a nice working part. Heres a few pics.

Thanks. Still waiting on my cylinder head to come back. Got my cylinder back last week from getting bored, head is out getting rebuilt with new parts, they had to replace one of my guides bc it was cracked. So taking a little longer than expected bc they had to order the guide. Once that gets back i can put this girl together

This is a really good looking build. What a vast improvement from where you started!

Bravo.
