I am currently gathering up all the parts to restore my 73 250 Elsinore. i need to replace the rear shocks. The bike currently has fox air shocks that are layed down. What shocks work well on these? I plan on doing some vintage racing when the restoration is completed. Also what are my options on the front forks to improve suspension? Thanks

I'm using 14 1/4" Works Performance & Progressive Fork Springs up front.

Fox Airs are nice but the lay down kit & depending on the length of your shocks may not be vintage legal in some clubs.

Good Luck.
