You're looking for a shock from an EX500D. The "D" series started in 1994. In reality, any EX 500 shock will work, but we will now give you the N250RC shock caveat: Shocks wear out with use. The seals fall apart with time. A 1990 shock with only 3k miles should be in better shape than a 1999 with 35k miles on it, but you never know what that older shock went through. Be cautious, and try to get as much information as you can about a used shock before you buy it. | You're looking for a shock from an EX500D. The "D" series started in 1994.
