     Hey Shoey, are you sure about that ? I used a set of 383mm Ohlins remote reservoirs off a '79 390 Auto (which would be the same as a WR) on my '77 CR390. I could be wrong, so I might have to go and double check, but I thought that the '79 CR250 and 390 had 420mm remote reservoir shocks, but the WRs had shorter 383mm shocks. The WR and CR125 models always seemed to lag a year behind the bigger CR models, with technology and the '78 CRs were the first ones to come out with Ohlins (383mm)   I have a '79 CR390 buried in my shed somewhere and I have the shocks off it, with a tag on them telling me what they are from. Might have to go and run a tape measure over them.
      But as you say, Ebay USA is definitely the best source.
