185s tank and fenders on 200x

[robgdds]

I have a nice 185s that I restored and have been riding for a few years but at the age of 56 I feel like I need some rear suspension. Since I have an very nice seat, tank and fenders I was wondering if I could just swap out the tank, fender and seat to an 83 200x roller I found cheap on fb marketplace. I know the tank bolts up different on the back side but the front uses the same black rubber cushions. I know the engine will bolt in and the wiring harness will work. The rear fenders may be another issue.

Anyone have any input?

I have to rearrange my cars tomorrow and will have access to the 185s and 200x I'll see if they are close
don't forget if you make a autox you'll need a 200x intake, the 185s intake points the carb wrong
And like MRCbuilds did on his X, the hydraulic master cylinder for the rear, he moved it onto the handlebars, so you don't have to modify a foot lever

I watched the episode, I don't really understand the rear brake pedal problem. I was under the impression that the brake pedal mount was on the 200x frame. I'm be looking out for your info on the fitment.

brake pedal mounts and pivots around the kick starter boss which the pull start 185,200 motors don't have. jim

okay the 185s the rear tank mount is in the center. the 200x mounts to the side and the tank mount bolts are studs where the tank hooks to. the distance between the front hooks and rear mount is longer on the 200x the 185 mounts won't stretch that far. jim
