200x Rear Shock

[kavants]

Hello, New guy to trikes and I have a question. I was refered here to the experts. I just bought a running 83 200x for $400. But, the rear shock is blown. Where is the best place to get one? And, will anything else fit, 250r, 350x, etc. Will anything else be an upgrade? If anyone has one for sale let me know as well. Thanks

Seen alot of nice ones go for very reasonable prices on Ebay. If I was looking that's where I'd start.

There are some places were you can send them in and get them rebuilt. I know some of the guys on here know where those places are.

Will any other work or just a 200x? I have seen some on ebay but, not real sure of the condition of most of them.

So are all years of the 200x shock interchangeable? Mine is an 83 will an 86 or 87 fit?

[84honda 200X]

No the 86 and 87 had only male mounts not male and female like the 83-85 did.

ok, glad I asked I was looking for all years. I will narrow down to 83-85!

He works for BRP .But I think He did it at his dads shop (Makes sergical beakers , blows glass.)
I had mine done down the street at the local cycle shop.
