Hi Guys, anyone know what the correct shock length is, I don't have a shock and I'm trying to see what the correct length should be so I can match one up

I just measured (as best I can with it installed) the rear shock on my 83 KX250.
It looks to be somewhere between 360-370mm ctr to ctr of mounting bolts.
Hope that helps a bit

I decided not to be lazy and measured it myself, it's 390 mm centre to centre.
