Used for 50 hours. set up for 175lbs vet/pro, 4.7 original spring. shock piston changed over to what the Geico team ran. 18mm shaft. Theres a hard piece of rubber on the upper body to keep the air boot from wearing the Aluminum away.
$2500 or trade for a brand new Trax unit

I think this shock might fit on a 2005-2007 CR250. If it does I would be interested in it

I was curious about that myself. I never worked with husky/ktm shocks so I have no clue about shaft/body length. I’m not positive but I believe the Clevis is wider like the Suzuki but I have a spare 05-07 Clevis waiting for a shock like this.
From the pics it’s hard to tell if the bladder tank is rolled back like the newer Suzuki shock as well (I’m talking Suzuki A kit shock).
That wasn’t the biggest problem but it did hit the air box on my 05. On top of that the body was 5mm shorter (if I remember correctly) so I gave up on that idea. I would like to hear your opinion if you end up with this.

Let me know if you need me to measure or mic anything.

I think the top will fit, it the bottom that will need a new clevis and different sprint retainers. I’ll try and figure it out.

Would you mind measuring from the center of the top eye to bottom of the body (not the body cap). Also could you post a pic like this,looking straight and the bladder/top mount? I can’t think of a good way to measure it but a pic would be a good reference. I seen CRs with this shock (not just KR94s).. I’m curious if the body was a direct fit or if they needed other mods. Im not trying to buy this out from under anyone, just looking for info.

Josh Grant also had the shock, I was told by people at Showa two different things, Josh Grant is Sponsored by Showa so they have him a shock, another guy there told Me Pro Circuit took a A kit Ktm shock and modified it!

I love your billet showa man! Very soon I’m tearing mine apart again to have all pieces coated. Considering going with the HRC red like yours.. I don’t want to copy you so I didn’t make up my mind on it yet lol.
I seen your shock in another post... I saved a pic of it (not a creep)
I believe yours is a 06... definitely nicer! Pretty sure mine was 03, I swapped to 05-07 Clevis. I really like my shock, that’s the only reason I’m not running a husky/ktm a kit shock already.

bottom of body to middle of top mounting hole is roughly 250mm. I say roughly because i couldn't get a 100% accurate measurement.
