Hi there, I found out that a crf230L shock is a direct bolt on into a crf250L. However, the shock is shorter than the Crf250L. The problem is is that the bike is squatting and the rake is messed up enough to cause the bike to have heavy steering. I was wondering if anyone had a stock CRF230L dog bone/linkage that I could borrow to see if it fits in the CRF250L frame while adjusting for the squat of the bike.

Also, I believe the XR 600 shock is also the same as the CRF230L ... but may be different valving:confused::confused::confused:

I know that the stock length for the crf250L is 110 mm, and the Crf230L is 95mm. The shorter length will effectively raise the bike, but by how much ... i don't know:confused:

Cheers,
Chris
