Hi everyone, just wondering where i could find compatible rear shocks for my R5. Would those from DS7/RD250/350 fit? or any other models? Can i just measure...

... Really odd. It's not even like you have a cross-over bike cause they are totally different! I doubt the R3 and R5 share many parts. Can you see any part...
i think what he means is that the frame was originally stamped r5 and the 5 was stamped over with a 3. ... From: elwood.1880 <elwood.1880@...> Subject:...
I will look for 278- prefixes on my R5 stuff as you suggested. Apart from R3, the code falls into proper 1972 ranges or R5. I don't know if someone restamped...

can you get a better shot of the neck numbers,or just print them.they seem to be off from the motor numbers.both should match up.if the r3 is the only thing...
