My 23 year old son (who campaigns a current 250 Honda motocrosser) would be surprised to hear that a '74 bike has shocks to fall off  ::)

The blues ones like here in this pic


I think maybe the 175 in 74 came in blue but the 250 MC's came in red only , 400's were white

Well It was red but there were also blue ones there as well but not in the pre 75, The same guy also cleaned up pre 78 on a blue 400 but preferred the red 74.5 250.
