a 12 ton press and v-bolcks worked for me...any machine shop should do it cheap

its not worthit - call a salvage yard ,or check ebay, but it could be gotten close to be straightened

They can be bent back perfect. In 1982 I bent my forks on my 81 ATC250r back so bad the front tire was hitting the frame. My dad took them to work and got them straightened on a press. Was good news to me. A 14 yr old kid making about $12 a week on a paper route.

i have a big red front end that might work! pm for details

if you can get the front end from a 250R, im pretty sure it will work - my friend put a 250R frotn end on his 200x without a problem, it will give you much better suspension then the 250sx had, and front disc breaks.

Piece of cake.....

and i know from experiance the 250r front end kicks the rake way out and its liek riding a wheelie the whole time i tried a 85 r tripples and forks on my 86sx and it no go. almost no way to amke it work corectly. but the 81-82 r is a good possibility.

just like dirtcrasher's post is how ive done um before at my buddys machine shop and they are good as new. most of the ones ive done the guys are still riden um everyday...

thanks for the replies,well i dont have access to a press,but the 250r front end sounds like a good idea.I'll keep my eyes open for a cheap set on ebay.

I put a 84 250r front end on my 200x, 350x tripple trees and the rest is 84 250r, it turns much starper now and far better than 86/87 200x stock forks. Pavementking67, you know gravelord???? Pm me if you do, I know him pretty well.
