81/82 250R Front Wheel???

[disco250r]

I have a 1982 250R with the 22-11-8 front tire. I have a 1986 250R with the 23-8-11. I'd like to run something more like an 8 on the front of my 82. Has anyone done this? I hear that the hub sizes of the 82 and 86 are completely different. So, what's the word?

My 82R I picked up at Trikefest this year had a custom adaptor plate made so that a later model rim/narrow tire would bolt up to the 82R hub. I have tomorrow off... I'll try to head to the farm and get some detailed pics of it for you.

:welcome: to the board btw! :TrikesOwn

Thanks, that'd be great. I like the idea of an adapter.

the other option is to get an 83-84R front end and bolt it on

Is the 83 a straight drop in?

Here's the pics.... weather was nasty, so I didn't pull all the trikes out..... I think you get the idea of it here in the pics...

A complete 83-85 200x frontend will be a drop-in.

I never thought about the 200X front end

Thanks for the tips and the pics. I think I can fab up that adapter pretty well to get me changed over. I'll keep my eyes peeled for a trashed 200X.

What's the WHAT on my 250R, 350X?? hahahahaha

The 250R has a Hondaline Fairing.... The 350X has a Speedo and Tachometer.... custom placed in a CB400 dash. Is that what you are asking?

LOL yeah thats what I was asking. Sorry for the typo's.
