Vintage Dirt Bike Q & A

Well, I tried to search but the system said "rear" and "shock" were too common of terms to search for-
The rear shocks on my 75 MT250 are pretty well trashed. When I got it, the springs were sagged already, when the rear end is picked up there is about 1" of space between the spring and washers. I would like to go to a nitrogen spring style instead of a coil spring, is there one that might fit this bike without having to pay $300+ each?

I put on a set of old school CR shocks on my MT250. Worked well and they looked OEM. I think they're a nice little upgrade without spending a ton of $$$$$$.

I got these for my MT250. They aren't great, but probably as good as the originals. I really wanted some rebuilt CR250 or Redwing hammer heads, but didn't want to pay the price. https://www.mikesxs.net/product/06-3650.html
