    I'm running a stock '01 Raptor 660 shock, a '86 Tri-Z swingarm, a '85 Tri-Z dogbone (shock linkage), and a '87 Warrior shackle. I'm not sure if you can use an '85 swingarm for this setup, and you have to use an '85 dogbone for everything to clear. The '01 Raptor shock has the remote rezzy that works fine, but the later model Raptors have the side mounted piggyback rezzy that I'm not sure if there is enough clearance for. The '86 swingarm appears to have more clearance in the front than the '85, and the '85 dogbone kicks the bottom of the shock more to the rear than the '86. The Warrior shackle is longer to lower the ride height back down from the longer Raptor shock.

    This setup works great and keeps the ride height stock.

    You can also use the Warrior shackle on a stock Tri-Z for a rear lowering kit.

    newer warriors (raptor 350) have a piggyback resy like a raptor, but not adjustable.

    Would a 1995 warrior 350 shock work for my Tri-z?

    Actually, all Warriors from 87-2004 had a remote ressy on the rear shock and were not piggyback. So yes..a 1995 Warrior shock will bolt on if it is the factory shock.
    Someone prolly had a aftermarket or different shock on the 95 Raffa is thinking of.
    Here is where my long useless list of stuff nobody cares about should go...

    Just wondering as anyone tried to run an MX bike shock on the rear of their Tri Z or would it be too long? Only asking as I'm struggling to get a 2001 raptor shock here in the UK

    Most modern bikes run a very long shock 18-19 " eye to eye , you need 13.5" to keep it stock, axis/ penske racing custom shocks will build you one, they work great.

    I only asked as I saw an 84 YZ125 shock for sale on eBay here in the UK and it looked pretty similar to the Tri Z one? Thanks for the reply MTS

    I would like to rebuild my Tri-z 250 shock, have an experienced dirtbike mechanic with access to a shop w/nitrogen tank willing to show me how it's done. Can't seem to locate a rebuild kit however. I do know All Balls makes a rear shock seal kit for the warrior shock though. And a lot of parts are interchangeable between these two shocks. Does anyone know where I can get the parts necessary to rebuild my shock? And/or would the All Balls kit do the job? http://www.allballsracing.com/37-1118.html

    1985 Yamaha Tri-Z 250...fully restored

    1985 Honda 250 SX...nice survivor original condition
