    yup as long as you have the whole front end and that means THE ENTIRE FRONT END. I would have gone with the 200m front end it allows you to run you stock tire size unlike the 200s front end.

    well now all you need is the front hub and wheel, fender, a headlight and guard and the triple tree and top fork clamp. you get to go shopping, or sell you forks and buy the 200m front end which in my opinion is the better option.

    What about the forks off an 83 200 ? I have pretty much the whole thing, No fender or headlight but just about everything else. It takes the 9 inch wheel so maybe the stock tire would still fit ?

    the current tire i got is a 25/12-9 so i think that would fit. Im just waiting on the 200s forks to come in so i can re-sell them running low on money so maybe if you can wait maybe i can buy it off ya

    Sure I`m in no hurry just threw that out there to see if I could help out a fellow rider. Should work though as mine takes the same size front tire.

    So the shocks on the 200s and 200m are the same...what's different is the triple and axle/hub assembly. If you're really interested, I have both (the shocks are shot)...PM me if you're interested - you'd still need a front fender though, and headlight assembly. BTW, check that frame well, it looks like the rake on the front end is a little flat...is the downtube bent back into the motor at all?

    Alright, im still waiting on the 200s forks to come in so i can resell them, but if it has the telescopic forks and takes the (25)12x9 tire and the axle, i might be interested.

    @Flossy20: the forks current forks on it arnt the right one, and its the angle of the camera that makes it look like that. Thanks for pointing that out though!
