Well, I need a new fork. Is there any fork other than the 84 200es that will work with my ride? Does anyone have a lead on a fork for my trike?

Also, can this be repaired? The fork is straight but the shocks are both totally shot--might be better off with a new one if it's not too expensive.

I can't ride with them like this. The lower part of the dampener (near the axle) has dropped out of the fork and the stress has caused it to bend forward. Looks like it could break if stressed too hard. And the tire is crooked (from top to bottom) because of it. I wouldn't even mind having no suspension, I'm about to start scouting and need the thing. Would any and I mean any (200s) fork work with the 200es?

The best (in my opinion) replacement for the 200es front shock would be a 200m. You will need the whole front assembly. The 200m allows you to keep the bigger 25" tires plus has aluminum shocks instead of steel like the 200es. The 200s will also work, but you will have to use the 22" front tire. In either case, the whole front end must be changed.

Thank you rock, that's exactly what I needed to know. I guess I'll look for the 200es or the 200m.

One more thing, will the axle from the 200es be compatable with the fork from the 200m? Is there anything else I'll need to change out?

Can I just tighten the crap out of the one I have now? I'm not worried about the ride but the bottom end is falling out of the fork
