    85 250r rear shock

    ok so i want to get a newer rear shock for my 250r...this is a drag bike so i dont need anything real special. can i use a 450r or maybe a 400ex shock? what are some other options?

    Rear, 3rd gen, OEM, 250r suspension is a great platform to do just about anything you want. No need to spend money on something else. Send it to onfurmula1 to get it set it up right.

    X2!! A rebuilt, re-sprung/re-valved 250r shock will hold its own against most of the shocks out there nowadays besides the really high dollar stuff.

    Same....new shocks are not as good as the old ones...way worse. Set it up right and forget about it.

    the reason i was going to buy another is my reservoir mounts came loose and it fell down and got chewed up by the chain...and all i do is drag race with ist..it has a 12 inch extended swing arm. just want a stiff shock and saw some 450r rears going for cheap
