hard time finding parts

[yamahaman89]

i have a 1986 Honda 200x and i having a hard time finding a reasonable priced rear brake master cylinder...does anyone know what other models of of 3/4 wheelers that the rear brake master cylinder may fit on the 200x that i can get easier??

the 250r works not sure on the 350x but there are no rebuild kits so search craigslist/ebay their not cheap. get a parts bike for $100 or so and sell what you don't need

Cr80 or CR85 front caliper fits on the rear of the 200x... I just got one from eBay for $30 shipped off of a 2006 Cr85... Its like brand new.. Just need to use the bracket from the 200x caliper.. Gets rid of parking brake cable as well. Best bag for the buck in my opinion..

You can use a kx80 rear caliper on the front if you ever need a front one.. There is a thread about it on here if you search it. I do not know it off hand.

i have a 85 parts bike but what i have read and understood is the 85's are different from the 86's but all the brakes are bad on that on too

I run a Banshee Master Cylinder with one simple bracket. (I'll try to find a picture, but it's basically an upside down hockey stick.

I am sure I can make a 450R master fit too and they can be bought very cheap.....

Here is the bracket I made in order to run a Banshee rear master cylinder on a 1986/87 200X.



I believe it has 2 clearance holes, one threaded hole, and the others are just there for style and reduction of weight

There are a TON of the Banshee Masters for sale cheap and I bet the new ones aren't much more than the 50$ 450R master cylinder....

At one point I was running the Banshee brake line and caliper on there too (with another simple bracket)

Many things can be made to fit, but you have to do it thoroughly or you risk getting hurt or hurting others, esp. with brake parts!!

I'm sure I can make a 450R master work too. I'd offer to make them but it seems people are all FOR IT before I make them, them I buy a bunch of material, make up a dozen and only a few sell. So, It's getting tougher for people to get me to do anything unless I know there gonna pay.....

I came up with a way to fix the slop on an 85 200X rear brake lever that requires the side case cover to be machined, a 450R swinger on either a 200X or 350X, PRM skidplates on a 86/87 200X (PRM does not make a thick aluminum skidplate for an 86/87 200X but the PRM 350X plate works with my brackets) and plenty of other things I'm certainly glad to have on my and my buds machines. But making them and selling them is a whole different ballgame....

It's tough to stay motivated when people think 85$ is too much for something custom fabricated that took 3 hours to cut, braise, weld and form. I was trying to make enough cash to buy a TIG welder so I could fix all these broken aluminum engine cases, not working out that way though
