    You can use the factory suspension forks from a 83 185s or the later 200s. For a high performance you can use an aftermarket 200x exhaust. Also you can use a 200x carb. Heck you can use the whole 200x topend if you want. And any cam that fits a 200x will fit the 185.

    Yes, the carb will do more for you performance, but its always a good start with a better flowing exhaust system. Thats where I would start, then go to either a better cam or a carb, you can also put in a better air filter and remove the airbox lid to increase air flow, but remember to keep an eye on jetting. Good luck.
