Just finsihed bike and runs strong. I am looking to upgrade the stock rears with a longer newer style shock.

Has anyone upgraded theirs and what did you use?

Thanks,

Paul

Paul, looks good, real good!!! Get the works shocks...I got Progressives for my 250 and now I wish I woulda got the works shocks. Nothing against the Progressives, they're OK, but not rebuildable like the Works.
Redrocket190 tried to tell me but I always have to learn the hard way.
Why don't you try those Fox shocks on that RM125??
How bout a pic of that RM125 in the background??
I'm a Suzuki nut and you can't find those things around St. Louis for nothing, all we got are Honda's, I know one guy here that has a 1978 RM125 in great shape and he won't sell it and don't even ride or collect, but I keep pestering him.

Thanks Gary,
My 2 77 Rm's one is stock outside of YZ rear fender and fox shocks. I will restore this winter.

The second is my daily racer and I love the bike! Sorry Honda fans!

Cheers,

Paul
