    I dont think it will fit. I think a warrior shock will fit though.

    Yah, Timsr told me that. My shop wants 350 canadian for one
    and 350 also for a stock tri-z

    darn it, does anyone know how much a works shock costs for a warrior?


    and, is the 85 tri z shock the same as the 86? theres one on ebay right nowTri-z shock-

    I have my old one, I could buy this, then use my red spring to make it look like a 86

    Have you put an add in the classifieds yet? I bet a couple people have a nice used one you can trust. Personaly for something like that I'd be all over ebay. I still say the banshee shock was awesome but you have to move the tank a little, no good if you want more of a stock machine.

    I have a triz rear shock, i think it needs a rebuild, you can have it if you want. I wasnt sure if you wanted a good one or one that needs a rebuild.

    not sure of the year, i know the spring is red, if that gives anything away, it came off a bike that mishmashed together of all different parts.

    Not positive but I have been told (by a cycle shop) that the warrior rear shock is not rebuildable. I think a rebuild will cost ya about $150, if the tri-z shock is rebuildable. Contact works performance or TCS, maybe even Elka and they can rebuild and revalve your stock rear shock. By the way, I was draggin ya on my 250R out at TF. We were pretty close every time. Didn't make the MX race 'cause I had no rear brake and didn't want to kill myself

    IMO, your better off getting a stock rebuilt and revalved then getting a works. Works are better then stock but no better then a revavle.

    if your gonna spend 560 on a works shock, your better off calling works and having them build one for a tri Z , it would most likely be cheaper. i talked to works about the used shock i bought and they are really good people and very helpfull. i know there is a real good shock place in NY its called Hygear, they do real good work and the guy who runs the place is cool. he said if need be he could set me up with a custom shock for about 300 and change american. i ended up getting a works tri z shock off ebay. let me know if you want any info on the guy
