1980's WP shock help

Post by kelroy_leon »

I have an older WP shock on my 85' 500. I'd like to get it rebuilt and run it on my 86'. Any help as to where I can go for parts if needed?
Thanks
OLD: You don't know what the f--k you're doing.
PREFERRED: I think you could use more training.

IMHO you need to do some Google searching and get plugged into the KTM vintage / historic motocross community. I seem to remember WP was OEM at that time.

You might need to post some questions, make some calls or send some emails, but this is the kind of community that will help you out.
