1978 KTM 250 MC5 Shock

[Cory Hackett]

Can anyone tell me the correct rear shock length (eye to eye) for a 1978 KTM 250 MC5?

Thanks

13-1/2" should be in the ball park.

The shocks on my 1976 MC 5 measure 13.75" center to center of the bolt holes.  James

I have run 14 inch on the back before on a '78.....felt like it cornered better with a little downforce on the front.

Cory,
  Go with the 14" for better steering.
