Improvements
One of my recent projects is fitting a 200M front end on a 1984 200ES BIG RED. Working on this project spiked my interest. I really like how the BIG REDS were designed but like almost everything it has some flaws. In my opinion the early BIG REDS had a terrible front fork design. The non-rebuildable damper that can be exposed to water and mud for extended periods of time is a bad idea. It must have been a cost thing because Honda had access to fully rebuildable hydraulic fork
