    suspension mod probs!!

    Ok I went ahead with the 350x's front suspension and had no problems puting it on the 200, but as I moved on to the rear end I found out that the shock is wayyy too long to fit properly on to my 200x, my question is to level the bike out , (the nose with the 350x's forks is alot higher than the rest of the bike). should I lenghten the swingarm?, or is there a better way to fit the 350x's rear shock on the 200x? I want to better my landings with a longer travel shock. People who have done this please help!!!

    Slide the forks up into the triples to lower the front end. You can also fab up a bracket to use the 200X shock on the back end.

    to make the 350x shock work you need the shock mount from the 350x. then you have to cut and drill and i did some welding to make it fit. i will see if i can find any pictures of mine.

    I don't remember all the exact mods we did, but on the 85 200x I had built up we eventually ended up putting a 350x rear shock on it. I broke the original jumping it.
