mk1 rear shock change?
hi there i've just purchased a mk1 crm, very happy with how tidy the bike is but it does seem really small, i've read that the shock is known to be soft on these models. does anyone know wether a shock off another model would fit? ie, a newer crm or cr or xr etc. would really appreciate some help with this.
thanks
thanks

Suspension is mega soft, doesnt bother me cos im a fly weight. There are ways though, can be expensive.
