I am looking into buying an 86 LT250R, but it's rear shock leaks. I have a few questions. Is there anywhere to get a rebuild kit for the air cylinder? Are the rear shocks from the 86 interchangable with any other years? And does anyone have one for sale? Thanks a bunch!

Good question and hope to see some answers, my cousin is about to buy a 88' and we need to know if anyone has used a rear shock off another quad. Does anything else mount up on the rear of these?

I have a few parts left over after re-building my 86 250r, and one of the parts im not keeping is the rear shock and a junk frame (cracked in a few spots) the shock ''seems'' to be in good shape, $10 bucks and the price of shipping and you can have it.

If he buys this 88 on monday then I'll take dibs on that.

I've done some research today and it looks like nothing else is a direct fit and there are only a couple possible choices. These things have eye to eye style mount in 88' sorry I don't remember looking at this one yesturday.

Front shocks are eye to eye but most are 16" or longer. LT is 15" rear, I believe.

A front could work 300ex maybe? or something with limited travel blaster ect... but the spring rate would probably be way off???
and no I wasn't even thinking a stock front blaster shock lol.
