I bought a mint one off ebay only for it to arrive and not be the one advertised so not mint, so need to know what I can put in year wise and the difference. -- Edited by georg...

Been messed about on the rear shock i ordered but have found this close by, Its a 2006 DT125X rear shock, however the fixing points look the same as my 89 DT125R shock ( if its even the original one) Anyone confirm for me that if the mounts are same it will definately fit?

I need new / replacement rear shock for my 2004 DT125Re (the damping's gone pop after just 2500 miles...). Do the shocks from earlier models fit or did the 'Re' have a different one? Can anyone recommend a good replacement that I don't need a mortgage for?

dtrdave · dtrdave
