    I’ve got a 1978 250 cr I’m going to slowly bring back to life and the shocks are completely blown. My question is can they be rebuilt, and if so, who do you recommend. If these are not rebuildable, what should I get for replacements?

    Wow. Thanks. I’ll do some reading and see if it’s something I want to tackle myself or send them off so someone else.

    Bill is correct. Your husky 250CR is a 79.
