    Stock hub no spacers I tried putting on the hub was super close so. I enlarged the bolt holes on the rim just a hair think only two holes. And i mean just a hair thousands.

    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

    This is an 85 200x front end. Used the shock boots from the sx front end cause they are in better shape. For steering stops I used some big nuts welded to the steering stem housing.

    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.
