Hi. I'm new to the motor sports. I'm in my mid thirties. I've spent most my life following the shooting sports. Rifle matches, pistol shooting, hand loading and hunting.
Just recently I bought a Honda ATC185. It needed very little to get it in perfect condition. Carb cleaning and brakes.
Well I just traded a rifle for another 185, but it is in parts. The owner had started to restore it and lost interest. Anyway I have just had the frame sandblasted and powder coated. and I'm trying to gather a few missing parts.
The last owner had started to change the front forks over to the 200S. My question to you is about this, I need a front axle, but I can't find one on ebay labeled 200S.
Could you tell me which axles will work? I see several 200X. Also can I use my hub assembly from my 185 or do I need one from a 200S?
Thank you for your help, John
