Here's the part # for the genuine KYB kit. It's the same for a CR500 (certain years).
#129994600801

Thanks Sharpshooter I was hoping someone knew where to get an aftermarket unit. The thought of rebuilding this thing is a bit sketchy. Oh well first time for everything... Thanks a million!

You're welcome, good luck! If you ever get stuck on anything, there's a wealth of knowledge available as well as some very knowledgeable people here.

I recently rebuilt a 97 kx250 shock.
I just entered all the details in on race techs website and ordered a kit. Watched a video on YouTube on how to do it and it's not that difficult. Having a good parts washer helps alot and a heap of rags to clean up the oil.
The main nut holding the valving and piston was very tight even tho it wasn't peened over. Just heat the nut with a heat gun and use a set of soft jaws in a bench vice with a rattle gun to remove.
Just take ya time and you will be fine I found it easier than doing fork seals.
