Broke my front shock - 2001 TRX 300EX, Need some help.
 

Shock had a slow leak and finally gave up on me. The machine is new to me so i'm going through it and trying to making her reliable for me and the kids to do some trail riding. We are casual riders, nothing fancy or crazy.

I see that the OEM shocks are backordered for 2001+ 300's. Does anyone know what the change was from the 2000 and older vs the 2001 and newer?
Ebay has some used 2000 and older shocks on there but dont want to mix em if they are different.

May just go ahead and do some 400ex shocks, just need to keep it simple as possible :)
