Is this where the queue ends .  My bike has a shock on it, but it doesn't have the bulbous reservoir on the end.  Did they come out without this ??

its most likely a DT shock from late 70's.

Thanks Moto M.  The bike is on te waiting list for resto.  I will do some more measurements / research when it gets a bit closer, but will keep this fact in mind.  Thanks again.

thanks but no wrong type

[motomaniac]

I got one in an old frame. #509  mxb or yz c 250 . it looks like it needs resto .

I'm still looking for one. If it's a YZ250C the shock should be close to 640mm from the very end of the threaded section to the centre of the pivot point.

Is the chrome on the shaft cactus?

I'll have a closer look - most likely

jim - sorry to rub it in but I lucked into getting a YZ360B 4.2 kg spring for $24 recently on US Ebay - NOS even.  Very rare.

Gents - dont know whether this will help but Works Performance make an MXB shock that fits the YZB - is the C much different?

"Shock is a Steel Gasser w/triple rate springs, threaded pre-load, 16 position adjustable rebound damping and 1/2 inch length adjustable mounting eye (RHA) @ $534"  This was October 09.  Mate bought one for his YZB and fitted up pretty easy.  I have the contact email address if you need.

Sorry if it doesn't but hope it helps?

Thanks Rossco for the info, at first glance the price is too steep for me, at second glance as well

I suppose when you think about it you're getting an adjustable shock that doesn't need the shaft rechromed. Then again, if I had adjustable suspension people would expect me to go faster and that just isn't going to happen.

The other prob is that the B model shock was 20mm shorter (or thereabouts).
