a front end conversion can be done,,, but not the rear ,,, the 250r shock is longer and the spring is alot lighter spring rate,,,,,

since the 350x front will fit on a 200x and the 250R front will fit on the 350x then that means the 250R front will fit on the 200x?any ideas??

The topend is gone and the left side case is smashed up'd, the chain jumped and tore right thru it. So would it be worth only doing the front?Will the trailprotrailprotrailprotrailprotrailpro end be soft withe the r shock? thanx

I thought the R front was trailing and the other was a rake type system...

Your right the 350x is a lead and the r is trailing, but will this make a diff or should i just keep the x forks and rebuild them
