My '80 KDX400 has dual rear shocks. ??

			Interesting that the bigger bikes stayed with the dual shocks, and the little bike got the monoshock.
No matter - I love them all.

			Sorry to stray off topic, but does your 1980 KDX400 have a VIN? If so, what is the first digit? Thank you.

			OK. That lets me know. It is not actually a VIN. Maybe they got started in 1981 with the VINs.
