Easily. Bolts right on. Heres the 86 250R front end on my 87 200X.

Im runnign a 250R rear shock on it to balance it out. Thats really the only way I see doing the front end. otherwise, it looks a bit silly and the trike "leans back" in a way.

Some steering stop work is involved with the 350x frontend. Its pretty easy to do though. It's Been discussed before so you should be able to find it in a search.

What kind of modifications need to be done to the 200X before 250R forks and shocks will go on? I have a 200X 83-85 ide like to put more travel on.

you have to bore out your tripples to except the larger diamiter 250r forks becaus ethey are bigger around then the stock 200x ones not that big of a deal.

No. Not True at all. That couldnt even be done.

Thank You.

No, You cannot use a 250R Swingarm without some grinding. I wont be using one. The reAR SHOCk does not bolt right up either, some mods need to happen for that to happen.
