If the fork tubes will fit in the tripple clamps, you could swap the forks and brakes, but this would require swapping the entire front end, including the hub and wheel assembly, as well as the master cylinder and hose mounts. I can't say for sure, because I don't know if the head tube and bearing race diameters are the same, but you may be able to swap the entire clamp assembly as well, making the whole job much simpler.
Do you happen to have a "donor" '86 laying aound? If not, you could probably buy a newer bike for what the parts to do this would cost. And if you have the '86, why not just concentrate on it instead of transplanting the parts to the '85?
Yes it can be done.Look on E bay for the parts,I picked up the forks,wheel,and braking system from a 1988 kdx200 for $150.00.I am using
them to up grade my 1981 IT465.:D
i dontk now if it helps, but the vin numbers on my bike say that its an 85...but i have afront disk. go figure......i dont know if a conversion was done or if the forks were replaced too. does anyone know how i could tell if this was done cause this has puzzled me since i bought the bike.
