Shock shaft interchange
What is the likelihood that the shock shaft from a later model kdx would fit the shock on a c-series? I have a corroded shaft on my 1986 and the piston diameter might be the same I wonder if the shaft might interchange. Any ideas?

I ended up not having a good enough shock to work for you. I will keep an eye out. Try Ebay, I lucked out and got my shock from ebay.

I sniped mine with BIN after it was list for like an hour. $56 to the door. Keep looking, one will come up.

No. You need a 1986 to 1988 shaft. Shocks show up sometimes, so hang in there. 1989 and newer are 44mm bodies are 44 mm, not 40 mm.

After much frustration, I've sent it off to FRP for re-chrome / rebuild. It was just the best way in this situation. Nothing I found was likely to be much better than what I already have. Thanks for the info.

Well, you know it should be in great shape for a long time now.

The interwebs say Mr. Fredette knows what he's doing so I guess we're about to find out.
