Hello, I have a 1975mt250. I have read way back in this forum that you cannot rebuild theses shocks.(I don't know 100% if thats true, I have never done the research.) My bike had 3400 miles on it, but it sat since the late 70's. The shocks didn’t leak but they soon did after riding it. I can find new aftermarket progressive shocks on eBay often. I have rarely seen stock shocks that aren’t blown or so old that they will go once you ride on them. I have never bought any shocks... I have just been shopping daily for the last 3 years for random parts. Good luck. Matt |

There is a guy in San Diego who rebuilds stock Showa units that were standard on vintage CR's. He's rebuilt some CR shocks and and a pair of FOX steel bodies for me. Does great work and stands behind it. His name is Brian Pusey and his email is: fivetenchamp@hotmail.com |

Thanks for the info. I found a person in NJ who says he can rebuild them. If he doesn't work out, I'll try this man. I'll keep everyone posted on how this works out. Mark |

The mans name is Brian. He rebuilt my shocks on my 78 CR125, and did a fantastic job. Quick turnaround, and easy to work with. Mark |
