will the suspension front forks from the 83/84 185s/200s fit onto the non-suspension 81/82 185s?
this seems like a no brainer, yes, but thought i'd check.:doh:

still use the same axle and hub system from the 81/82?

Dads got back to you before I did. The stuff is all the same, just swap it back and forth as you wish

just a note...the front axle/hub/brake from the non-suspended front end will NOT move over to the suspended forks.

scrat or nut...the link you gave with axle specs looks like a 250r front axle and hub will fit the suspension 200s front forks. this is a much cleaner set-up. (if you are willing to give up front brakes.):confused: or is there an option for that. i would not mind a disc brake in front. what are your thoughts guys????thanks

The width of the forks stops that. the S is wider. you would have to make special bushing and hope your axle bolt does not bend.

don't bother.
