[QUOTE="ossagp, post: 195878, member: 1650"] we were all wondering what you had come up with. it is a good choice, and palmer has tricked out at least one of those. lots of us did it's older brother the xr200 too. kind of look around or keep your eye out for some forks off of one the the 86-88 cr motocross bikes if you want to upgrade the suspension later. you can find them for 100 dollars pretty easy with triple clamps. my favorite for the 200 is off the 91-95 xr250 though. 41mm cartridge forks that are lighter with about an inch less travel than the ones off the cr's which are 43 mm. each works fantastic. you cant pay 1000$ on the old suspension and get something as good as you can for 100 that way. you can put the swingarm, disk brake, and linkage off the xr250 on there too. I want to say in 89 they started coming with the disk. so just somethings to think about if you want to upgrade later on. I have bought sour running xr250s' whole for under 400. the drawback is that you end up fixing those and riding them or selling them lol. and still need to hunt parts for your mod job. anyway, keep it looking close to that nice and with very little money you can keep it running nice (rods and cranks on a stock engine last forever) and you can sell it for 90% of what you paid for it in a year or two I bet.
