At The Back Of The Pack
Arm chair racerAt the back of the pack
I have an 85 250es Big Red that the front forks are frozen shut and I want to upgrade to something better. The riding I do is mainly trail with the occasional trip to the mudhole. What I want to know is what model should I swap to and what would be the best year? I know that steering stops have to be made Im not worried about that, I just want to know what would be the right fork swap for my conditions.

4 Wheels? Huh?
Easy & cheap enough to rebuild your forks..get the kit from Ebay and a copy of the manual from the site.
It's a utility trike..swap to say a 350x front end would be a weird combination in my opinion. But then people have done stranger things.
Current toys..
1986 Honda 350X..trail bomb!
1985 Honda 250SX..my main mudder
1985 Honda 250ES..Back in Black Trike
Current non-trike toys:
1990 Honda TRX300FW
1995 Seadoo GTX
1998 Polaris Indy Lite 340(Nearly new looking)
1998 Polaris Touring 500
1998 Club Car (electric)

I ran a 200X front end on my 250ES for years. I loved it. it will bolt right on, but you have to build your own - DIFFERENT steering stops. I had a plastic tank and had no steering stops, and the turning radius was MINT!

Do you have pic of that? I'm used to seeing a 25 inch tire on the front of a 250ES, I can't really picture anything else on there!Originally Posted by atctim
