Title: A good rear shock to race a '84 KX500, or a place familiar with '83/'84/'85 Uni
Post by: Bower100 on May 31, 2019, 09:31:16 AM

Can anyone recommend a brand of rear shock, ….. people using to race the '83/'84/'85 500 bike?
Also a better/new carb. ….one that has a idle stop screw , (unlike the OEM flatslide).

Thanks, Dave

32 views and nobody knows of a shock that works well replacing the stock one? Is this ‘83-‘84 Uni-Trac such a rare bike?

Most of the guys on here have newer model bikes, which may explain the lack of answers.  Also the air-cooled bikes weren't as popular and there just isn't as much being done with them in the aftermarket.  I would be patient, I'm sure someone on this site has done this before.
