Well guy im asking this question so i canstart lookin in to parts and get started on my 125r im goin to build one starting next 2 weeks. I trade my 85 tecate project for a 86 200x andsome cash but after that the 125r is on so i can get it done for trike fest. And i want to put a 250r front and rear end on this bike but i dont know if the 250r swing arm will fit on the 200x chassis. Will the 250r prolink swing arm work on a 85 200x frame

if you want 250r front suspension and 250r rear suspension why not just use a 250r? the rear shock mounts for the two bikes are in different locations, the 200x is up high and the 250r is down low. the 250r shock kinda lays down. I think it would be a lot of work to do and have it work right.

He wanted to know if the swinger would fit the frame, not that it would be simpler to use a complete 250r.

I don't know about fitment of the swingarm, but I've seen 250r forks on X's before and it looks trick. I think you should use the stock swinger and a 250r shock. A 125r would be a trick little trike. Are you trying to achieve a flattrack style or a MX style?
