YZ B Monoshock
« on: November 28, 2007, 11:59:29 pm »
OK here is one for the experts as no one here seems to know much about it - I am hoping the answers dont come tumbling down and make me look like a tosser though (no comment please Magoo!!!).

I bought my YZ 360B with a spare shock.  Anyway this monoshock has had the spring removed and an "air cylinder" installed in its place.  The body looks conventional like the standard one I am running and it is as though a cannister has been installed in place of the spring.  Any ideas on what it is??? Also any ideas on where it can be fixed as it would make a good spare - maybe even a good runner instead of a spring monoshock???

And while I am at it does anyone have any decent photos of the US yellow model YZs from 74/75?

Awaiting with baited breath gents!!!

regards

I can remember a Reeder gas spring that was available in the US for those early YZ's. That is possibly what you have.

Gents - thanks so much for the photos and info on the shock.  I take it these Reeder gas srpings are few and far between then?

cheers
