If anyone has a good recommendation ofr the best rear shock for my 79 YZ250 (ohlins, Works performance etc) please let me know and where might be best to find other than evilbay..
thanks in advance

A Fox airshock is a good option and they turn up on ebay from time to time. Ohlins would be hard to get and you can probably buy a Works Performance shock brand new in the US.

Walter had one for sale at the HBBB for about $999. I think it was YSS.
But I don't see any mention of it on his web site: http://www.suspensionshop.org/VMX-Suzuki.php (http://www.suspensionshop.org/VMX-Suzuki.php)
He sold it but I didn't hear how good it was.

White Bro is a stock shock with some internal mods for more travel and more progressive rebound dampening. If the body isnt worn out they work better than stock . The res. is also an option. Ohlins dont exist for this model unless its custom made .Works is aslo avail as a full shock (very rare) or internally modded stock shock

You beat me to it moto about the white brothers shock.
The reason i said Fox shock is there were plenty around in the day. I had one on my '79 YZ400f and it was a lot better than stock.
