trx 250r stock shocks

[kildea250r]

I want to know if it would be cost effective to rebuild the shocks on the 250R. I was looking at a ton of different vendors but cost is a definite issue. I (and my wife) cannot justify spending a grand on new shocks.

So here's my question, can these shocks (front and rear) be rebuilt to near factory specs. I ride hard but I'm not into the track or cross country. I would be totoally happy with these shocks if I could set them up for fun in the woods. I have the manual from honda but I'm not sure if the parts are available. If anyone could help I would appreciate it.

My buddy has a (3) 250 R's. He put work's shock on the front, I believe they were only like $300.00 and he is very happy with them. You also might want to check out ebay to find a set.

Thanks, I've been watching. I will continue the search and hope that I come across something before I assemble my bike.

No Prob Man, Good Luck With The Search.

You cannot rebuild the stock front shocks by the way. Im not a fan of work either, I would rather buy the cheapest elka's. You honestly get what you pay for when it comes to shocks.

I've heard a lot about elka and I personally think they offer a wide variety for the business. I have been thinking seriously about buying elka shocks.

I didn't think the fronts could be rebuilt but it never hurts to ask.

Thanks

I got an extra set of stock fronts if ya want em, but they arent nothing special. Also, i will be selling my R here soon, and possibly selling the aftermarket parts separate. Therefore, you could get my 1 dir racing front shocks from me. They work extremely good on TT/MX tracks and i have never had a cooling problem with them. I'll pm ya if i decide to part out the bike.

what you buying crazyracer??? you didnt mention anythign so im guessing a 4 stroke???

[crazyracer]

umm, 370, lets leave it at that. I don't know what i am buying yet. Depending on when sell the R and for how much, would be getting anyone of the 3 new 4-strokes. I am leaning towards the 450r but a yfz isn't out of the question. I doubt i'll get the new ltr450 unless i can get help from an outside source (like a major sponsor that is willing to fork cash). I'll explain myself later, but right now, i'm in transistion and i need to do whats the best option for me to get some wins.

what??????? damn traitor.... you just said the other day that 2 strokes were the way to go.....
