xl 600 lmf rebuild and mods
 
hi all, can anybody tell me is there a shock that will fit a cr 250 and has the side bottle on a hose rather than mounted to the shock

I just bought myself the xl 600 lmf on which I plan to cross the continent to Thailand. the bike handled well on tarmac but was poor on dirt roads. I checked the forks and shock internals and found they are in good condition. I am quit heavy and with all the required luggage to do 3 mounts on the road the suspension is not up to the job. striped out the forks cut off the top and bottom bearing housings and replaced with larger ones to carry a cr 250 fork set. I machined a new axle and brake mount to carry the original xl wheel. I've just come back from a test run and the bike handles excellent up front. rear end is still rebounding to much. I'm planing to fit the cr swinging arm to it but there is no room for the top of the cr shock to fit into the xl chassie.
