Title: CR125RZ 79 rear shocks.
Post by: 090 on December 07, 2008, 10:02:39 am

I am after a set of shocks to suit, as long as they are usable whether original or aftermarket. Not looking for a big dollar set. I think they are 17.25 inches.

Mine were for a 1980 model and were 16" eye to eye, Walter has the specs because I sent then to him to measure up before I sold them, He can build you a set of high/lows for a mere $1800   ???

These seem reasonable and they come in 17.5" too

I think the G 366 TRW  are a bit over the top for that era and can agrovate some people . Something between 600 and 1000 will do the job just fine unless you do Supercross.

Thanks guys. I am going to sell this bike and am trying to replace the fox shocks currently on them for something reasonable/ second hand for $2-300.

Yeah putting them on the RA 125 . Im over the bling garage queens. Im into bling racers now! The frustrating part is i sold a perfect set of works performance shocks that were originally on it thinking i wouldn't need them.

No point having all those glamours sitting in the shed. I've got a feeling RA shocks are a bit shorter than RZ shocks so don't know how you'll go swapping them over.
