Aight, so, this is going to be a thread on my project of updating my brakes on my 84 200X. I'll show pictures as I go, get some info on my build, and try my best to share it. And hopefully any experimentation I do, if it works, I can share it with all ya'll guys.
So, heres the questions I need answered.
1. What's a clutch perch that will fit on the 200x? If I recall correctly, its a KX 450F perch that will work with it.
2. Would anyone know If I can switch up the brake perch but still keep the cage that goes around the brake fluid holder thingy? I'd like to retain that.
3. If I switch up brake calipers, like I intend to with both the front and the back. Will the KX 85 caliper still work with my stock brake line?
I'm going to go hopefully tomorrow or Thursday to a shop and pick me up the CR 80 front caliper to slap on the rear or end up just ordering one off of ebay somewhere. After I get the rear brakes on and working, I intend to go and put the perches on, then possibly change up the front.
After the brakes, and rebuilding the carb this weekend, I'll probably work on grinding the foot-peg teeth some to get some bite. Apparently, they arent available anymore and theres no aftermarket pegs. Work on making something to stop my foot from sliding off the pegs, something like what ironchop had on his 200x. And a grab bar would be nice with some new fenders lol. Trying to get this thing truly trail ready again.
Heres the pictures of the perches. Thanks for the info
