rm 125 a shocks

[rm1976]

hey guys i am looking for a set of shocks for my rm125a she has b forks so i think i will go with B shocks can anyone help with the exact eye to eye length  370mm ?    should i go for works performance they are a good price at the moment
any sugestions

  Hi rm,my standard 125-b shocks measure up at 375 eye to eye,let me know how you go iv'e been thinking about shock replacement or rebuild and often wondered about the works performance stuff. cheers

thanks mate
spoke to the guys from works performance his shocks measure 385mm they will do them for about $500
the fox book lists 375mm
i think the A had Shorter shocks than the B but since i put the B front end on that the B rear shocks were the go
works say that if i want 375 its a custom build you would think that thease would be a stock item as i dont want the exta 10mm
any ideas

mmmmmmmm different offset tripple clamps
lets hope that ive got the A tripples
maybee YSS or gazzi shocks

You can tell if there the "B" tripples as the forks will hit the tank on full lock when you put them on an "A" model. You will have to extend the steering stops or you will dent the tank!!. Pay the money and get the "Works" shocks . Cheers John.
