    '85 and '86 ATC250r only. 1st and 2nd gen forks were different..... And just in case you are wondering, 350x forks won't work either. Too small in diameter.....
    Trikes:
    '85 ATC 350R
    '85 ATC 250R
    '86 ATC 350X
    '85 ATC 350X
    '84 ATC 200ES Big Red
    '84 ATC 125M
    '85 ATC 110
    '85 ATC 70/110

    If you have bought from me or sold to me, please leave me feedback here>>> http://www.3wheelerworld.com/showthr...+RIDE-RED+250r

    Any time brother.

    Also, I hear tell that Dirtcrasher has straightened forks for members. Might be worth a try to contact him and see if you and he can work something out.

    I haven't tried it myself yet. But I have heard that with a descent press, a dial indicator and a little finesse, one can straighten trike forks.

    If you have the tools and were planning on buying some forks anyway, what do you have to loose to try?
