I need to know if there is anywhere that a guy can get the monoshock on a 75' MX400B service, rebuilt or whatever. Also, if the price is too high, is there any suitable replacement from another bike or an aftermarket shock that isn't too steep on the price? My budget's not too good but, I've got 2 of these things and would like to build on them. I've also got a 75' DT400B and, if necessary, I could build it up instead. I'd really like to do the MXs though along with the DT. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Later on, Bill

Is it worth it to fix it or are you restoring it?

I wasn't planning on restoring it as such. I'd like to get it back in shape with basically the stock look but, not necessarily an actual restoration. What did you have in mind? I'm open to suggestions.

It is not worth much unless you restore it. To fix it to ride, is it worth while?

Yes , there are a few parts available for it . I believe RT make a seal head for it , also works performance shocks makes a complete custom shock for it .

I have a 1975 MX400B and I went to our PMF shop and he recharged it with Nitrogen and charged me 20.00
