This came off my 1988 CR500 donor
Can anyone confirm or deny that it's OEM for 1988 if not what year??? Will it fit a 1985 CR500?? :?

Nope, piggyback reservoir fouls the airbox. I had to make an aluminium airbox to fit one on my 85.

Does the spring color designate spring rate?

I was going to give it to a fellow hoon for his 85' I don't think he will want it now that we confirmed that it won't bolt on. If he doesn't want it Sareguy and you want a spare for your 88' it's yours.

Sure if he don't want it I will take it off your hands.

He is going to perform the airbox mod. What ever parts he does not want you have first dibs just pay the shipping. I'll send you a PM with pictures of what I have after I know what he wants.

That looks like a 87-88 shock that someone installed a remote reservoir on.
Maybe from an XR?
