    Honda 200x rear spring???

    Hello, well ive got this nos rear spring, i bought 3-years ago. Seller said it was 200x spring and he didnt know anything else about it. Soooo the $ was right so here it is.
    Is it just a 83-85 or 86-87 or both. I seem to remember 83-85 works in 86/87 but for heavier guy/girl
    It does fit into a old 86 shock i have, but looks way heavy duty!!
    The blue springs in pics are 86/87 honda 200x. The coil size on nos red coil is atleast 3/16 bigger and 1/4" longer. Red one is 8" long--the inside circumference is same on all.
    So what do you think? And thanks for looking and your time.
    No markings at all on the red spring
    Maybe something special??? Click image for larger version.

    IDK what you have; Could be 300EX 400EX?? I don't recall the diameters being larger, but I ran an 85 spring on an 86 shock until I got a custom shock.

    It's a stiffer spring in the 1st gen. X'ssss.

    Thanks, back into the box it goes.
    Same box i did find 1983 honda 250r parts, cdi, rear caliper hanger, looks to be exhaust hangers? Bunch of hardware, i'll take pics if anyone is interested. I think i bought a teardown parts pile just for the axle/sprocket bolts,nuts (i will never use the rest of the stuff) about 5 lbs worth. Let me know
