YZ250C / YZ400C / YZ125X / YZ175 1976 rear shock

[Davey Crocket]

Hey Rosco, has your mate ridden the bike yet?, reason I ask is that I want to put a decent shock in my YZB/OW 25 replica that I'm building. I bought a set of WORK's shocks for my YZ125A and they are awesome!!! Cheers John.

Mainy - I understand where you are coming from - baulking a bit at $1100 for an Ohlins for my 83 

yes - apparently there is about 1 inch difference between the 3 but apaprently the MXB and YZC shock was the same and fits backwards into the B - obviously wouldn't go the other way - this is an MXB shock so is slightly longer.

John - Rod has ridden it only the once and at a grass track - this weekend he heads to Collie (proper and fairly rough track) so will report back when I hear from him.

Must admit I am interested in your YZB/OW25 replica - could you PM me what you are up to there as I don't want to hijack this thread?

cheers

Jim - I also have a YZB air shock (unknown origin or make) - it won't hold pressure at the moment and I can't get a hold of Thor Lawson to get him to have a look. Don't know whether that would help you at all?

cheers

I must be typing in invisible ink??   Graeme M, is there a way I could send some lemon juice to people I've PM'd so they can rub it on their computer screens and decipher my messages?

#509

cheers mate,

any idea on how long they are? that seems to be the only difference between the models. The shock I've got already measures 620mm from the centre of the pivot to the very end of the thread. I need one that's closer to 640mm

Cheers

Interesting , I never knew that there was such a difference between those first cantilever shocks.
the #509 shock is 640mm

509 is 250C ?
