i put a 350x front end on my 200x and i iput my 200x hub and axle on my bike it looks cool but feels weird i havent gotten a chance to ride it yet if you have done post a pic and do you think it rides odd or tell me some pros and cons

If you ran your forks leading edge, then thats why it turns funny. There is no rake built into the 350X tripple clamps.....

Yeah, if your running 350X triples, you want to run leading axle.

I did that swap on my 200X. BIG difference!

do the r forks look better??? has anyone does this

**bigpimpin** · 03-08-2008, 02:38 PM

what does leading edge mean?

**Derrick Adams** · 03-09-2008, 09:40 AM

Leading Axle = the axle located in front of the forks.

Trailing Axle = the axle located behind the front forks.

I have heard of this and like the idea. I remember there was a post or two of this swap. I hear it makes a world of difference. I can never find the right posts with the search item on this site

Anyways, can someone who has done this give us the proper setup for the swap? Do you go with the whole front end of a 350X and does it matter what year 350x? Or can you use the 200x wheel, hub and brake setup with just the 350x tripples and forks? Whats the best setup. Leading or Trailing Axle? Also what year 200x's can you do this swap with. Thx

You can use your 200x wheel and hub. The steering stops will need changed. I cut the stop off of my head tube and replaced it with one that's more like the ones on a 350x, but you can modify the lower trip to make it work with the 200x frame.

Yes it has a 350x shock, and its an awesome upgrade for a 200x. I really don't want to make any more links though. I have a jig that you could use and I believe I have a few pieces left for making a new one. You live close enough to me that we could hook up and I could give you a good run down of what's involved. I'd do it but I'm trying to devote the little time I have away from work to a project I'm working on. I'm from Warren Ohio probably an hour or so east of you. I'm sure we can work something out. You should start looking for a good 350x shock if your serious about doing the swap.

I've sold maybe 10 or so links on this site and haven't seen a pic where someone is actually using one. So, there's got to be a few floating around that didn't get installed. I checked through some of my old PM's and found the names of a few of the guys that bought one. If you want to try to contact them to see they used it I can give you their names and you could try to PM them. maybe if they didn't us it they will sell it to ya.

If you want to try that I will PM you their board names.
Let me know
