custom 185 update

[brandosfiero]

hi well its getting thier i still have alot to do just thought id update everyone

[short4stuff]

its getting there .. if I were you though I would get some 200x forks for it.

[TRI-Zbrian]

yeah put a 200x front end on it ... with a 350x head light assembly

[84250r]

Looken good! 8)

[Grant2k]

looks good, what plastics did you end up going with? are those the 200x? i like the forks the way they are, i like the 3 fat tires look.

[smokinp]

Cool...I think that it would look better with a different front end.maybe a 200x front end.

[Yamahammer490]

This is just my opinion, but I think it looks cool with the current front end. To me there's something cool about the early 80's trikes with the wide front ends. I like it as it is. (But it does need a headlight.)

[smokinp]

but since he already has rear suspension then he should finish the front end up with something that has good suspension like a x or r

[Yamahammer490]

I guess the choice of front ends depends on whether he wants better handling or a more classic look.

When the 185S was new the hot ticket was to add rear suspension similar to what he's already done and then to add front suspension from a dirt bike, usually a CR 80. This would be much more difficult but would end up, in my opinion, looking cooler. When Curtis Sparks was racing those I'd have given anything to get a copy and he's 80% of the way to it.

On the other hand, the narrow front ends are easier to find and, relatively speaking, will bolt right on.

i've thought about upgrading the fork on mine, but from what i understand the 200x steer tube is too short. what other bike can you take one off of that is readily available?

[brandosfiero]

well i havent got the 200x pastic and gas tank yet still looking.i like the bigger tire on the front just because it looks cooler.the front forks have alot of suspension after i made them longer to.i had to change the shock because the one i had on it was to soft and my chain tensior wasent working right.

[Grant2k]

i think those plastics look good on there.

[250SX_rider]

I think you should keep it that way...sorry to go against your opinions guys, but...that's my opinion.
