I own a TRX250X with a modified ATC350X motor in it. The quad has plenty of power but the suspension needs to be upgraded. I am comsidering doing a 250R front end converstion for more travel and a wider stance. I believe both Leager and a company called ATVRacing make a kit to do this. Does anyone have any experiences, good or bad, with either of thes kits?

I did this swap on my 250x with 350x motor. Although I made my own conversion kit.

I will have information on it on my site soon.

If you want a better rear end on the 250x you can use the 350x rear but you need to make wider pivot end caps. I did it on my 91 250x,350x. It was worth the work. The 350x swingarm is about 1.5" longer and the shock is a resivoir shock with compresion and rebound adjustments. The shock is nitrogen filled and I had to move the resivoir connection then get the shock re filled with nitrogen.

I had a guy I know put 250R a-arms on his 250x and he said it was REAL wide, but there was a problem with the camber or caster?
