Hey guys,
I just found the front forks off a 250es on ebay.
I need to replace the front forks on my 200es and i'm wondering if the 250es forks with work on my 200es? I need to know soon so I can start bidding if they'll work. Any help would be great, thanks

damn! I was thinking the same thing!
to say that my front shocks are shot would be an understatement.
It looks like the springs were recently recovered on the titanic!

Sorry i don't know for sure, but it would be really cool if they did. They have quite a bit more travel than the 200. Mabye you could make them work if your or someone you know is pretty good w/ a welder? Good luck :)

dunno tweaked, but is it your forks that are the problem?? Maybe it is the whole front end, but when I looked at those pics of yours, it looked as if the fork frame, or fork carrier was bent, but the actual forks themselves were ok??

Anyways that was some hole you hit! Good luck in the old straightening project!
