Will a 1980s CR80 rear shocks fit onto an 1980 XR80 without having to modify anything?

You can use xr75 shocks from 1977-1978 or xr80 shocks from 1979-1984.

I want to upgrade my shocks or thicker springs. Suspension bottoms out too easy.

Takegawa makes shocks that will fit the bike that are stiffer and maybe an inch longer. I have a pair on one of my bikes and they look and perform well.

Do you know which ones you have on there? and how much they cost?

Do you know how well they work? I am about 170 lbs so I need something that can support that?

They work well, I'm 175lbs myself and they handle my weight well. I don't do any motocross or anything but they should hold up a good amount of abuse. They are much stiffer than the stock shocks and they look pretty good also.

Might have to pick me up a pair! Thanks for the help
