Anyone have any idea how hard (read EXPENSIVE) it would be to put a 200X front wheel/forks on my wife's 200S? I'd like to at least put an X front tire/wheel on it, and maybe even front brake and forks if I have to go all the way with it. Any ideas what that would take, from a fabricating standpoint? Would the X triple clamp go on the S if I shortened (or lengthened as necessary) the stem bolt? Her bike has that aftermarket monoshock rear supsension, wheel spacers (for exhaust clearance), a Supertrapp, and ITP Holeshots (low profile), so the fat front tire looks STUPID on it!
Let me know what you guys think....

Any thing can be made to fit. But like you said you would have to alter either the stem bolt or the bearings to make the two match up i would guess. I never have done it myself. But i assume that the stem bolt is a different size. If you decide to try it. Let us know what combo you found to make it work. I am sure a lot of people would be interested in the results.

Seems like it would sit the front end up too high to a silly level.
I wouldnt bother doing it, keep the front suspension you have, its the rear which matters if you wanna start fabricating!!! Ive seen kits but never ridden one.
