    Axle Swap ...... Questions

    I'm going to try and order a new axle for the '82 480R. I have heard that a '83 - '85 200X axle will interchange with the '81 - '82 250R... Has anyone ever done it and can confirm that it will?

    And does Durablue or anyone else make 200X axles?

    yes dura blue still makes a 200x axle but hold on it also requires the 200x axle to use a 81-82 250r sproket to work its the eliminator 2+2

    if you need a stock 200x axle i got one, you can use 400ex hubs and wheels and get 46" wide on a stock axle.

    I just did this a couple of weekends ago - it is a direct swap. One minor mod - the 200X sprocket bolts need ground down about 1/4" to keep from rubbing on the carrier. So to answer your question - yes - it does work.

    I've tried to order an axle from RM ATV and Dennis Kirk. Neither will order the axle from Dura-blue. If I buy it direct from Dura-Blue it $482.00!

    Who knows someone friendly to trikes that would special order one?
