I’m looking to upgrad my forks,clamps, and shocks on my older 2 strokes. A 2002 CR250 and 1997 CR500. Reading some of the blogs is apparent that many of you have done your homework and figured out what fits what to make an awesome upgrades. It’s a bit of a Hail Mary but I figured I give it a shot.
Thanks

In your case the stock 500 shock is a modern design with adjustable high and low speed compression damping. Have it sprung and valved and you're good to go. The 46mm front end can be sprung and valved to work well, but fitting a newer front end results in better forks, brakes, etc.
For your 02, just have it sprung and valved for you. There's nothing wrong with the factory stuff, simply updating and refreshing the boingers will have you happy.
