Quick question for all you experts - I'm looking at a set of unused Hagon Shocks on Ebay for my 1975 T500M .... I've asked the seller which models they're designed for and he said they were originally bought for a 1971 but "should fit other model years" ..... offering me more photos but not committing himself ... do any of you have a view on their suitability for a 1975 T500M?

69 to 77 used the same frame and swingarms so they should all use the same shocks.
Two strokes, its just that simple.

Measure yours eye to eye and get the seller to confirm the length of that pair. An inch or so longer is usually OK but shorter can be an issue.
