question about forks n tires for 1981 atc200

[acidburn]

hi i was just wondering witch forks would mount onto a 1981 atc 200 with keeping the original 25x12x9 tire the front brake doesnt matter, also does anyone know some good mud tires in sizes 25x12x9 iv been searching and the best iv found so far are mud lites.

Wolly boogers always work good for me

You want 83 and up ATC200 or ATC200m forks to keep the 25 inch tires. 200e and 200es will fit aswell but theshock design is outdated.

Go with some wooly knock offs. 2ply. Duro, GBC, nankang all make them.

well the shock design is better the no shocks in the front ;) and as is my atc has no bearings and a snapped tube near the handle bars so i rigged a pipe in there but ya the steering is a work out lol :) as for tires i guess swamp lites are my best bet cause i want a 6ply unless someone else can sugest some better 6ply tires? thanks everyone

just wondering does anyone know if a 1981-82 250r front fork would fit with or without my brakes?

[oscarmayer]

yea should.

is the tube that's broken the steering tube to the frame or the forks? if it's frame tube busted, you may consider lookign for a later roller chasis and swap over since a bad steering tube at anyspeeds higher than like 5mph (frame side) is dangerous. it coudl break off leaving you w/i a front setup and down you go.

its the tube for the forks. it snapped on the top side so i wedged a bar down the steering colom witch helped tons. But it obviously needs to be replaced asap cause my baby wants to go!! the motor was rebuilt got new rings cam chain n guides :) and she flys but its uncomfotable trying to give it balls to the wall when u have to steer the oppisit way :)
