    Would anyone be able to suggest a set of shocks that would work well on my '74 250CR, but that look closer to original than the Ohlins ones I have on it now?
    Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

    How 'bout some pics of what you have now so we know where you're coming from?

    Thanks for the reply, fellas.
    The shocks I'm using now are these: http://www.huskyjunk.com/ohlins_classic_mx_shocks.htm

    They work exceptionally well, but having high and low speed damping adjustment isn't exactly period correct. ;)
    Hence, my plan to replace them with something that at least looks more the part. It would even be cool to have the chrome covers etc...... :D

    I'm A big fan of works perpormance shocks, as a vintage replacement. They were makeing shocks since the 70's are very high quality and have a very good seal housing and durable seals. There avalable W.O. remote reseviour consistent with shocks of that era.
