If it was me I would just buy a 250sx off of ebay because it would a lot cheaper than buying the parts for your big red

The front forks should be easy enough to bolt up.. but i'd go with 200X front forks if i was you.. gives you disk brakes !!! the SX has drum.
The swingarm assembly i would leave alone.. just swap the rims for 22's instead of the red's 25's.
The plastics might be a chore to bolt up.. that's gonna need some work.. but the rest is pretty much the same.
Currently :
82 ATC - 200, plain jane, almost mint. ( Sold, 03-17-2005)
84 ATC - 200 ES, Jimmy-Rigged, don't ask.( Sold, 03-17-2005)
85 ATC - 250 SX, Pride and Joy, Bottom-Less Money Pit.
84 125 M - The Mini-SXnot running yet. but won't be long.

Buying a sx of ebay is not the prob its the shipping over to Scotland UK $1300
Is the gas tank the same as the sx and what tripe trees would i use as the sx looks wider than the 200x . and are sx fenders + seat hard to get? i have only
ever seen a pic of a sx as you do not get them over in the UK so its hard to relate
to one

Your next challege is to try and pry it out of my dads hands, I think he will be buried with that bike!!!
We considered converting an ES, but it really is a lot of work. The frame is very different to fit the SX plastics.
I'm fairly sure the tank is different, and the plastics and seat aren't that easy to come by
We got ours from Germany, they come up every now and then on German ebay, that might be your best bet

The day begins with 3WW
the major diffrences are frame swingarm are totaly diffrent, the plastics and tank are diffrent, the rear diff gears are diffrent to pull the taller 25 inch tires, the transmission gears are also diffrent ratios, the only thign that is basicaly the same is the top end of the motor, but it is a diffrent cam i belive also but not 100% sure.
