Thank you ChadSaa, for the details on this modification.

anyone know where i can get a douglas .125 10x5 3.0+2.0 tire right now? Rocky mtn. been on back order for 3 weeks plus.. i'm on hold for that rim / tire... combo.... any advice appreciated... if not the .125 alum. one then what about the 2+3 steel ??
Don't feel bad. I have had a pair of rims for my 250ES on order since June. Apparently DWT got shut down HARD.
that sucks because the web sellers keep saying expected in stock in 7 more days... i wish they would just be upfront and tell me they have not gotten an order in since June and don't know when to expect them... Now i am moving on to steel and can't find them?? plus new question: i know i can use a 10x5 3+2 offset, but would a 10x5 2+3 offset work or will it mess up brake drum? i would like valve stem on opposite side of drum but its not a must.. does the 3 or 2 represent which side the drum MUST go on? thus to keep the drum do i HAVE to use the 3+2 ? i need a tire now and willing to take steel or alum. 2+3 or 3+2 in 10x5

Nice bike agedatc.
My 85 SX is a wheelie machine, it has the stock front end, did this conversion lengthen the wheel base, or change the wheelie characteristics? more/less wheelie prone?
I really like the front disc brake option as well.

My 85 Sx also has a 200X front end. The front disc brake is great. If the wheelbase does change with this, I don't think that it would affect the wheelies much. To change that, the rear end (not really an option here) is the one to change the length on.
Sorry to be a late responder, MrConcdid.
Front end still comes up with little effort. Didn't even give a thought to the wheelbase. Guess I could measure and compare to stock dimension. Assuming the measurement would be axle to axle?

Would that setup still work on a 110? I’m intrigued now haha. I need new rubber so maybe I can order a different front rim for a skinny tire set up
I believe that it would. You'd probably be riding a chopper if you put a 200X front end on your 110. You'd also probably need to buy a steering stem adapter as well. Muthey is the one who's making them these days.
On a 110, put a 185s 0r 200 shock front end on it.
not as good as a 200x but a nice improvement over ridge mount.
