the 250r/400ex stock a-arms but you need a front shock adapter
tie rods
tie rod ends

search on here there are a buch of posts that tell you what is interchangeable

I don't think thats true cuz my old 300ex and my 250r measure about the same.

ok thanks guys, does anybody have some plastic and a seat for a 300ex for sale.....

[cincy250R]

actually they are +2's if you put 400ex/250r a-arms on a 300ex but you'll have too buy or make a shock adapter to run 400ex shocks or 450r shocks

250r arms on a 300 are +2 (some say +1.75") You will need to use the 300ex a arm bushings to make them work along with either a shock mount bracket or custom length shocks.

wheels/tires are interchangeable

swingarm can be made to fit with some minor frame mods (+ axle, hubs and carrier)

handlebars (of course)

250r hoods can be modded to fit along with the rest of the plastics.

the upper steering stem bushings are also the same.

What about the rear axle carrier???
