Finally?
There sure are lots of people on this site that fancy themselves the first to try something.
Im gonna to guess that the first time someone put a 250r rear suspension on a 200x was oh around 25-30 years ago.
No hatin from me oldskool, but bro theres nothing new or brilliant about this setup, just takes a little cutting.
There is alot of 200x intrest all of a sudden. 2 years ago I couldn't anyone to even come snif my pristine 200x I had for sale and now it seems everyone wants one.

Its such a builder friendly platform Bob. Many of the components can be upgraded to modern equipment just by bolting it on. Im sure you know this, I just think its why the popularity is on the rise.
Thanks to Lifan, its not too tough or expensive to build a 230cc e start bike with reverse from an 83-85 200x.
Who here doesnt want that....
Here's my resto-mod ...not quite finished yet. Before and after.
heres one of my 4 ongoing projects. Its the 86 350x i just procured from MISTA CLEEN out west. it sho nuff iz clean i tells ya. really I have only found a few minor spots of rust on it, its freaking pristine. Here's how she sits; new fast trekker rear tires arrived this evening. New 10" rear tires showed up monday night with a front Duro Hook Up tire. waiting on Inverted triple tree set up and a 10" front wheel from Honnerlaw. Its my project thats the most incomplete this week. Next week after the new 70 finds its home in my garage things will be a different story
