Hey everybody, regarding the stock suspension on the 83 CR480 .. Should I just try and find a pair of 86 or 87 Honda forks and an Ohlins shock?? I guess I just have no idea if going the Race Tech route on the 1983 CR480 forks will get them close to the quality of an 87 CR 250 fork ? Or, throw in the towel now and go find some 87 CR forks ...
Appreciate your helping comments in advance

I believe Steve Marpes posted on facebook he is building 83 CR shocks now. Seems he has found more parts to build with.

On the rear, a decent shock (Ohlins/Race-Tech) makes the world of difference.
If you really want to sort out the rear end we do complete new, billet linkage assemblies for them. They have a longer link (as per the Simons Link) and proper bearings!! No more sloppy worn out bushes and collars!

I sent you an email to the info at Phil Denton email asking for pricing on the linkage, clamps, and a few other items -
