    As title. This is for a WR 250. I've never heard of them, but it looks good.

    If I do, I will. They're German, they seem big in the road bike market, they also boast a big range for off road bikes but I've never seen one out there, or maybe I have but not realized. More research tomorrow.

    Actually, I think I remember someone on here saying they had one of those on there WR a while back, because I looked them up. Do you have this shock, or are just looking to buy one?

    Cheers, motorhead, at least now I know they do make one for the WR, I'm having trouble finding the WR on their applicability list. Will ask the seller a few questions first. Might need to act quickly now!

    Might be cool to try it out and see how it works!

    That being said, I'm a believer that the stock stuff is as good as anything, if you have it set up right.

    Ha, I bought it, so we'll see. As it happens it is the shock off that very bike in Motorheads #1187 post link above. Wont be riding for a few weeks yet, but will let you all know how it works out.

    I meant that the stock shock was as good as anything, not a sweeping generalization about every components on the bike.
