i need help identifying this 200

[hippie-89]

they say it is a 1983 but it looks like it has a 1986 tank and seat on it so if you could help i would really like it.and can the 1986 seat fit on previous models.217973

looks like a 83 185s-except for the tank and seat.

I take that back-I just noticed how the rear of the frame goes straight out.-unlike the 185s. it has the rubber footpegs & front shocks though. might just be a mutt?lol

i know it is a 200 but i need to know if it is a 86 or 83 200s

Those rubber footpegs were used till 83. -so i doubt its newer. If it was 86 it would have opposite shift pattern( gears all up)

thanks tho

I think it is a 83 185s frame which was the only 185s to have front shocks and a 200 motor which is a direct bolt in, and then they could use the later years seat on it as all previous years of 185s and anything before 84 on the 200 was a 2 piece fender and a different type of seat.

get the frame vin number to be 100% sure.
