| Post subject: | Help with OEM shock rebuild |
I am rebuilding the OEM shocks on my '74 CR250 and have discovered a missing part that I need help in locating a replacement or suitable substitute. The damper piston has a butt cut wear ring (looks like a small piston ring) that fits in a groove on the piston. One of my shocks is missing this ring. It measures 24mm X 1mm X 2mm (OD X CS X HT). This is obviously a necessary part for the shock to work correctly but is not available from Honda - it is depicted in the parts diagram but is only available as a complete damper assembly which you know you can't get anymore. Does anybody know a source for these or is this another one of those parts that will have to be custom made? This restoration is so close to being done inspite of the many setbacks caused by the sad excuse for a bike I had to start this project with, any help would be greatly appreciated. dogger |

If it is the original fin type shock I may be able to find a used one for you. Contact me at mailto:elsinorestuff@qwest.net |

Thanks for the response Elsinorestuff. I have sent a couple of emails to the address you listed but haven't heard back. These are the original fin style shocks and yes I would be interested if you have a reasonable example of one you want to part with. dogger |

Thanks for the tip. Elsinorestuff is hooking me up with the wear ring but I will probably pick up some "spares" from Ebay for future use. dogger |
