Yep. 5 days late as usual. LOL
Direct replacement front forks would be the 84-85 200M and ofcourse, the 82-83200E and 84 200ES. Headlight brackets will swap and so will your front axle and front fender. (The 84-86 200S fork will NOT work)
If you don't mind going to a rigid front fork without suspension, there are several models that will work as well.
Another thing to note, be sure to have a good glob of grease handy along with a shop towell when sliding the steering stem out the bottom of the steering head. If you don't, you will be chasing those little ball bearings for days. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
