I would be really grateful if someone could point me in the direction of where I might find a rear mono shock for my 1980 DT175 mx. Yamaha will supply a new one at over £300 which, although keeping original is important, is just too much. I have searched quite well through Google but so far no joy.

Also, can anyone confirm if the DT125 shared the same shock at the time?

Thank you. I have found a 'new' shock for a 125 and will give it a try.

They are the same, so where did you find the new one after all these years?
