185s/xr200 cam

Can someone help me with a part number or a link for one of these xr200 cams.

I decided to use one of these after doing lots of reading on these forums and 3wheeler.org's boards. There seems to be a difference in opinions on them some say different size, some say same size :wondering .

I'm almost 100 % sure the cams are the same.. but in the manual the compression ratio for the 185. the 200 series and the 200x is different.

the 185 had the highest.. 9:1 i think .but i'll have to look it up.. give me a bit.

Really :wondering ? I did alot of reading on the forums about the difference and most threads seem to favor the thought of the 200x and the xr200 cams being a little "hotter". From what I've read it seems that the duration for them is longer than the 185 cam. I decided to get a high comp piston/minimum bore job and the cam to pep it up a bit :naughty: . It would be good if someone had a positive answer on the comparison :D .

Just checked the manual and the Specs for the cam love height is a bit taller on the X cam after all. we're talking a 0.1 mm difference or so.
