ATC185S and 200S parts interchange

[Footy]

I have an opportunity to buy a 200S parts bike. There is not much left but there is a factory honda rear rack. I would like to put that onto my 1985 185S but I do not know if that is a direct bolt on.
Also this guy has some version on a ATC200 but I can not tell which one from the photos. I am guessing a 1984 200S but not certain. Not a big red for sure. I was thinking about using that muffler on the 185S.
Also not sure if it will fit. Anyone tried these swaps before?

pretty sure the exh is the same front the 200s and 185s. I think the mounts a little different from yhe 200s to the 185s. the 185s rear part of the frame bends down about 15 degrees, the 200s comes straight out. jim

Not to mention that you don't have a 1985 ATC185S. The last year that they were made was 1983. Like Jim said, you may be able to make the rack work, but it most likely won't be a bolt on swap.

I think the 200s bar is wider too. I took a extra 185s grab bar, cut it in half, stuck a rod in the middle and bolted it to my 200s before I sold it. jim

Yes, I did not have my glasses on and typed a 5 instead of a 3. So the rear grab bar on the 200S is wider than the 185s?

when I get a chance, I'll measure the frames I have. jim

200s 10.375
185s 9.375 width were the grab bar mounts. jim

Thanks for checking. This might be a waste of time and money.
