Hey guys I am new here please take it easy!
I have a 1984 ATC 200ES Big Red as well as a 1984 ATC 200M. The 200M is in pretty good shape but has some exhaust and brake issues I'm tired of dealing with. The front end on the 200M is in near perfect condition.
The 200es however has the dreaded shot front forks. They work, but travel is short and have been full of water since who knows how long and the boots are cracked.
I understand the 200M shocks and/or forks are a direct swap into the 200es. What I am thinking is taking the whole front end of the 200M and installing on the 200es since the hub, brake and tire is all there (from the 200M). I haven't done this before, so I'm hoping there is some instruction on the easiest way to do this is?
Are there any tips or warnings I should know about ahead of time?
Is there a video or tutorial online somewhere that has visuals? If not, how difficult is this swap?
Do I need any new parts ahead of time?
Thanks in advance,
Matt
