I would like to thank everyone for their prompt replies on my last post. I think i might hold off trying to add rear suspension to my s for now, also using a 200x frame is also a good idea to consider. I was wondering if I could add a 200x front end to my S, the front forks and triple trees. If so is it a big job? Thanks alot guys.

If you have the complete 200x front end, including the complete front hyd. disc brake system, the swap is simple and straight forward. Pretty much just a bolt on deal.

If you have acces to a complete rolling 200x chasis (usually about $300 tops), that would be the best way to go. Your S motor will bolt right in with no problem.

The only difficult part will be the rear brake pedal. Most people just weld a bushing/spacer onto the inside of the right foot peg, and mount the 200x brake pedal on it.

I was checking on doing the same thing with my 200s, but the stem bearings were different part #s. Damn I almost bought a comlete front end off e-bay cheap.
