I picked up a 85 250 big red, 84 200 big red (I think) and another 200 honda thats for parts off of ebay for a good deal last week. The 250's needing a rear axle, hubs, tubes and brake drum. I'm getting the idea that 250sx's have the same parts as the big reds. Is this correct? I've seen several ads that state they fit either or. But on bike bandit they have different part numbers. But that may just be their way of distinguishing between models.
I plan on fixing up the 250 to keep. My uncle has one he bought new in 85 and I've always liked them. I plan on fixing the 200 and probaly selling to cover some of my costs.

Big Red 250s and 250SX's have the same rear ends. HOWEVER, there were some small changes made in the rear ends from the 85 models and the 86/87 models. I cant think what exactly they were off the top of my head, but I do know they changed some stuff in the brakes to seal better. DC could probably chime in here with what the changes were.
