atc axle diameters

[pudge]

i know many of you will say to just do a full 200x front end swap but......

I want to put a 200x or 250r front hub, wheel, and brake on my 250sx front forks / axle.

my question is .......

do all of these axles the same diameter? i want to use some spacers on either side of the new hub that i plan to put on my existing axle. will it fit properly????

Hey Pudge,

I got this from here some where but I saved it on my PC for future reference so here goes:

Here's the process I wrote up last year about my changeover.

"I used the 250SX triples, 200X forks, 250SX fender, 250SX headlight, 250SX front axle, 200X front wheel & brake system. To do the conversion, like Dirtcrasher said, you need to add spacers on the outside of the current 200X spacers on the 250SX axle, and add spacers between the forks and caliper mount plate. My axle spacers were .790" Outside diameter, 19/32" Inside diameter, and .790" long. You need 2, one for each side. The brake plate that bolts to the forks needs spaced as well. Those spacers were 5/8" Outside diameter, 21/64" Inside Diameter, and .790" long. You need two of those as well.

You'll also need 2 new M8x1.25 x 65mm flange head bolts to bolt the plate back on. My hardware store only had 70mm long bolts for $1.80 a piece. I ground the length down a little, so the bolts just stick thru the plate about a 1/16th of an inch. It's going to be an awesome setup!!! Just a note, I also added 1.25" long aluminum spacers on top of the springs to take out the sag of the forks on the heavier 250SX."

If you've got a spare set of spacers sitting around I can turn down on a lathe, I'll hook you up. It took more time to measure things up correctly than it did to bolt it together. Now that I have the measurements, it's an easy conversion. You have to use the 200X stock spacers towards the inside of each side, then add modified SX spacers to make up the difference.

Let me know,
