250-500cc WR250 Shock option

I have a 1999 WR250 that I have been "refurbishing" front to back. My rear shock is in need of a rebuild. I am considering installing a newer / updated shock. I'm wondering if the Sachs shock from an 2007 to 2010 TC or TE 250 would work on here? Does anyone know? The shock certainly looks like it will fit, but I don't have one to try. I'd hate to spend $200 on a shock and then find out it doesn't fit. Help!

Had to replace the shock on my '99-used one from a '05 [i think] TE450
a few mm longer but the bike still is stable wide open in 6th gear

I don't think that the 2010 TC 250 shock will work. The reservoir is rotated forward instead of sitting in line with the top shock mount position.

Where are you located? I have a new 2005 TE 450 shock with no spring that I would sell for $125.00 plus shipping. I was always going to use it for a '07 WR 250. I say the shock is new because it has no dirt or wear, it could have been used for a brief time but I doubt it. it could be a few mm's different in total length, don't know.

Shocks from 2000 thru 2004 125 or 250 will bolt on.

Rasirx251 - Hi Where in VA are you? I will be in Lovettesville, VA tomorrow afternoon (Friday) through the evening then leaving Saturday morning. If you are not far from there maybe we can meet up briefly so I can take a few measurements of the shock and see the condition. Let me know ASAP. ksorce@hotmail.com. Send your contact info.

Think it may be too far, I am in Leesburg VA which is about 5 minutes away.. I will shoot you a e-mail.
