Im after the above after discovering my shock isnt the original it has a red spring (should be blue) and is about 30 mm shorter.now i cant look at my lowrider cr without feeling gyped.maybe it was set up for dirt track.i need a good shock ready to be bolted in and raced.or a swap with a dirt tracker with a high arse end.

Is 89 CR 250 any good for you ?
-

Sounds like you have an 84 RE shock, they are shorter but otherwise the same, there is a 125RF 85 shock on face book, think they are the right length but thinking 250 KYB & 125 Showa, both are OK though ;)
-
89 & 87 will not work as far as i know :)
-
Have the forks been lowered too? If so then it may have been lowered for dirt track and if so then you should just need someone to remove the spacer inside the shock to make it normal length again.
A photo of the shock may help, the Honda trainspotters may be able to tell you what shock you have.
-
The forks are lowered maybe 10mm thru the top of the triple clamps thats why i was thinking maybe a dirt tracker.the funny thing is it handles quite well around the mx track.its just now i know its lowered i cant look at it.lol.

Im guessing the 125 and 250 shocks are different.

Yes 125 shocks were smaller body, the pro's used 250 shocks . 85 500 or 86 250/500 shocks are compatible

Thanks for the info the hunt begins.....
-
I have an 85 CR 500 rear shock if want one from USA $125 USD + shipping.

Weren't the 125 shocks KYB and the 250/500's Showa's? From what I remember the KYB shock worked better?
-
Please tell me they are the same length john as i know where there is a 125 shock for sale.the postage costs from the states supersport kill the sale.
-
All good ive got one coming from trumpland thanks all.
-
As stupid world rules disallowed my shock to be posted to me from the states the search has resumed. Wtb 1985/86 honda cr250 shock blue spring one in ready to use condition. Thanks in advance.
-
That makes no sense? I ship to OZ from States frequently
-
it made it to Kentucky from reno before ebays global shipping people declared it an restricted item.credit to em my money was refunded in full straight away.
-
Mr Supersport if you can get me one or the 500 one you mentioned to me ill happily pay up.or check from your end the postage costs.
ps don't use global bloody shipping that ebay use, narks.
