Fat Cat TR 200 swingarm on 200x?

[stevensj13]

Hey guys, I've searched google and the site and haven't found a definite answer yet. Does a Honda TR 200 fat cat swingarm bolt up to a 1st gen 200x? Does the jack shaft sprocket setup line up too? I'm guessing I'd have to use a different shock and weld up new shock mounts, but this is a project I'd like to tackle if its feasable. So, can someone tell me for sure wether or not a fat cat swingarm bolts up to a 200x frame and the sprockets for the jack shaft line up or not? I'd love to do this to my 200x if possible. Thanks!

FYI the Fatcat does not use a jackshaft setup. The case where the countershaft sticks out on the Fatcat, is out further from the center of the cases than the similar 86 87 200x motor which allows it to line up with the rear sprocket. Not saying it won't work or can't be made to work somehow but you may have better luck with a Yamaha BW setup which does use a jackshaft.

Y not just buy a fat cat instead of converting a 200x. U would just be trying to build a fat cat. Honda already did everything for u.

Yamaha big wheels are manual and are supposed to jump and handle better than the fat cat. I might try to trade the 200x for one

So why ask if a part will fit a bike you plan to trade?

I said I might try to trade, as in I might try to trade if I can't get a straight answer on this question.
