Rear Shock Needed
Permalink  
 


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?

older dt shocks have a different lower bush to the newer ones. only difference. it was because the older ones the bushes ****ed up in no time and be warned the collars are like £10 each or something ridiculous and you cant buy the bush seperate I dont think. You need 2 collars aswell! I think they changed around 2001 but dont quote me on it..

that derbi was prob a gpr
