    Which front forks/shocks fit on my 185s?

    I have the solid forks right now. My wrists a killing me from the beating I took with the solid front end. I know the 'newer' 185s forks will fit. Are there any others that are a direct swap? Meaning, I can use my front brakes, rim, tire, etc.? Will 200x forks work?

    that might not look like a 185 but it is a 185 frame, with a 200s motor, 185 tank, 250r seat and fenders and front end
