hello all!

I have a very rough MX250 that needs some love. So far I've pretty well stripped the chassis. The engine is off to the local engine wizard to be assessed leaving me with the chassis work. Since this bike needs EVERYTHING done to it so I thought I would take the time to address some of it's flaws during the rebuild process. Right now I would love some advice on the length of the swing arm and rear shocks. I read somewhere that the DT swing arms are 1" longer after the shock mount and that they bolt right in. The idea is to lengthen the wheel base and hopefully get an easier handling bike out of the process. Any advice on aftermarket shocks as well?

peace, Bruce

Hi slow/p ,  I find aftermarket shocks are hard sprung,, is your MX  the silver , with no lights then ?  post a pick,
