[QUOTE="wrigh003, post: 954332, member: 55892"] I posted up here a while back about a 1978 PE 250 that I got from an uncle of my wife’s. I haven’t done a whole lot to it just yet, as things have a way of getting put off… Anyway, it now runs, and well, but now I need to see to the suspension. I’m a husky lad, as it were, at ~240 and 6’2”. The stock rear shocks, which are older than me, need some help holding up to the punishment, as they seem to be sagging a great deal under my weight. Any of you vintage racers/ larger people know of a place to source some replacements or a good way to rebuild/ respring the units? I’d just as soon not drop $400 on new Ohlins units for a free-to-me basketcase dirt bike, but so far that’s about all I have found. I don’t race competitively, I just ride for fun a few weekends a year. Tinkering with the thing is half the fun, but it really starts to suck when you can’t find parts… :) [/QUOTE]
