I ordered one of these shocks today for the rear suspension on my 1980 trailfire to replace AM54745. It is a front shock for an older yamaha but the dimensions are exact. 12" extended, 8"compressed, 7/16" bushings. The only that will have to change is the width of the bushings which is an easy fix with a saw or grinder or mill if you want it perfect. I will let you guys know how this turns out in the next couple days.

Any more details available about getting a coil over rear shock for the TF?

Or using that ski shock from DK, 08-114-16? Did it last?
