I got them for my 84 R, after much disscusion (another post) they are not for a R at all and am quite sure they are for a 83-87 200X but must be positive before I sell them.

They are aluminum and I painted them that way.

The stem is just a hair under 9". Normally they come with ball bearings but this one I installed a All Balls tapered bearing kit on. The kit list them for a 83-87 200X among other machines but that doesn';t mean that ALL the trips on 200X are identical, and I want to narrow it down as to what exact year(s).

They look like these on the 83 200X, not sure if they all shared same clamps or not, didn't look that up yet .........

They are for the 83 to 85 200X.You can tell by the locking nut on the bottom of the tripple clamp.This doesn't mean that they wont fit the 86 to 87 200X.They probbily will.I think the 83 to 85 triple trees are better than the 86 to 87.

Love the carpet!!!!!!

88 200 X ??? ...........better have another cup of coffee edog :lol:

Thanks edog!

(figures you would like the carpet but no comment on my beautiful paint job!)

:rolleyes: :lol:

My 84 R has that locking bolt (not nut!!) too. I know they are not for that machine but just wondering, did they do away with that pinch system on your 85/86 R ?

If so, us 83/84 guys have a better set up :D

Why thank you edog, a compliment from you goes a looooonnnnnng way, knowing how picky you are, means a lot man. :beer

I spent a lot of time on those babies only to find out I can't use them! Still would have painted them the same procedure though even if I knew before hand.

They appear to be 83-85 200X triples but will not work on 86/87 200x because of the steering stop.
