[QUOTE="Lorin, post: 293010, member: 16153"] I acquired a 91 xr200 for my girlfriend a few years back and have done a few simple mods to it. As to the suspension that you listed (36 mm forks), I believe that my 91 had 33's, but that is a moot point as I found some 1987 xr250 forks complete with wheel, triple clamp, brake, etc., for a good deal and swapped the whole front end over. Since I was able to use the complete setup, all I had to do was make a 1\2 spacer for the steering stem (which raised the top clamp, bar, and riding position) and hook everything up. There was two main advantages with this: 1) the forks are larger and flex less. 2) I now have a complete front disc brake on the xr and the ride height didnt change (I measured the distance from the axle bolt to the top of the tube and they were the same). As to the rear shock, I havent heard of anything doable that isnt costly. I have often thought that if I could come up with a used up 125 bike, I could put the xr motor in it and have the ultimate play bike. The reality is, it would be cheaper to upgrade at this point if \ when my girlfriend outgrows this bike. FWIW, I have the complete, original suspension (triple clamps, wheel, brakes, tire) from the 91. Iif you are interested in it, drop me an e-mail. [/QUOTE]
