83 vs 85 200X Front Hubs (bolt pattern)

[keithluneau]

Can anyone tell me what the bolt pattern should be on a 1983 and 1985 200X front hub? The reason I ask is I have an 85 that I needed a hub for, and bought a used one off an 83, tore it all down to swap it out, and the bolt pattern isn't the same. The one on the 83 is larger than the one on my 85.

Thanks in advance!

If they were both stock, they should be the same. One or the other of those hubs is a 350X/250R hub.

then the one on your 85 is from a later year,,, cause 83 to 85 200x's are the same,,, you might have a 350x front hub on your trike

Like Kasey said the axle and bearings are the same so the hubs inturchange. but the bolt paturn is diff.

Ok, thanks for the info. I'll measuer them up and see what's what, but either way it turns out the hub that was already on the bike wasn't as bad as I thought, there was the outer race of a bearing inside behind the bearing it was running on. That's why the bearing was hanging out, I thought the hub was busted up. Someone really did a number on it though. lol I was able to get that piece of bearing out and put it back together with all the right spacers and seals and all, so shes back in good shape. :)

Thanks for the info!
