    Sure but not easily. Welding or machining will be required.
    Have '85 350X-XR500 Hybrid,
    Had Nicholson framed: 90/110, 185s, Gen I 500, Gen II 500
    Had Bandito Framed 90
    Have Vey's Framed 90
    Have too many parts

    best bet is the 185s with front suspension or a 200s front that will bolt rite on

    there is a thread "200x front end on 1982 185s" on .org where I posted a thread on how to change the necks. Remember that the necks have the VIN on them.

    This is an easy swap if you have basic welding skills and a donor 200x or 83-84 250R. You will need the frame neck as well as the complete front end.

    dammit ! i would like to do something with my 200s for better front suspenion. i got a complete front end from a 225dx, just missing axle. i guess id have to swap necks from the dx frame as well?
