I need new shocks on my 85' lt 250r but i can't really seem to find anything for an 85', will the shocks for the newer years 87-92 fit my 85. I need all three shocks.

they posted some info on other shocks. Down fall my friend looks like we will have to find shocks that are interchangable.
To answer your question no the 87 shock is longer then our 86 and 85 LT's. Take the time to read that board I sent you. These guys know what they are talking about.

I haven't lost my mind I left it at home.

 

thanks buddy

 

Is this eye to eye, or overall length?

Anyone know?

 

Just read update, passing along info

The 85-86 lt250r front shocks are ~12.4 inches bolt hole center to center.
