Putting better suspension on an '81 atc250r

[moto_man5]

well, I really need better suspension for the dunes, will a later model 250r front end bolt up easily, or is alot of work needed. Has anyone tried anything like this? Does it raise the front too much? Thanks

Yes, Ive seen people put the 83/84 Front End on the 81/82's before. it raises to a comfortable level It looks like. I wouldnt use an 85/86 front end though (1. Price, 2. Large)

Someone on the site, who went by the name of Percy, used a 85 frontend on a 82. His machine is in the readers rides section somewhere, probably around page 6 or 7.

Edit: The machine in question is on page 5, the link to the picture is http://www.3wheelerworld.com/readersrigs/percy250r.jpg

Yeah the 83/84 would be a step up for you though
