I was wondering if I would gain anything by turning my forks around on my 200x like they are on the 350x? :w00t:

Thanks,

:crazy: CrazyK

About all you get is a longer wheel base. I think I heard it was better for racing but im not sure.

I do know that a trailing axle will track through ruts alot better than a leading axle setup.

Your front end will sit lower, it'll tend to jerk the handlebars into a turn, and you'll most likely end up wanting to turn them back around. It was once considered a "hot race setup", but in practice....it sux.

LOL I turn like crap with the forks normal, I sure in the heck don't need any help.

But maybe it will help me turn better? Nah, I'll just leave them alone and tuck -n- Roll..hahaha:TrikesOwn

Thanks everyone for your input.

Truth be told, many years ago I got a basket case 250R. And I turned the forks forwards thinking like a dirtbike. It turned terrible!!, I thought "why the heck do people like the 250R's" and in time I learned why........
