Hi all

While I wait for ny newly acquired 1983 200E to arrive I would like to hear how big a difference there is between the 200E and my 200ES? I read that the E has a chain and no reversing gear where the ES has a shaft and reverse. Are there any other differences?

Can I use move the shaft from my scrapped, extra 200ES to the 200E (including the final drive) or do I have to take the gearbox and engine too? I can't really be bothered to move both engine and drivetrain - it would be almost all of the bike that was changed then - but if there is an easy way to get the E a bit more like the ES, it might be worth it.

Thnx

will not work at all
totally different frame and swing arm

 

OK. Thanks for setting me straight on that.

 

Agreed, won't work, the frame is completely different
