Are these SL250 shocks?

These shocks are in my stash of Hodaka parts. I think they are from a SL 250 but Iā€™m not sure. A stash of parts included other 250 parts so it could be.
They measure 13-1/2ā€ eye to eye and use 12mm bolt.
They are in very good original condition.

250 shocks are much longer. I cant tell you how much without a trip out to the shop, but 14 and a half or 15 and a half rings a bell.

Dogs is right on. I just measured mine. They are 15 1/2" eye to eye. Perhaps your shocks came from an 03 Wombat. I'd like to confirm that, but I don't have an 03 Wombat. :cry:

I believe they look 03, but the 03s used the 34 mm forks and a longer swing arm than the previous model 125s, so longer shocks were used. Again I dont remember the length, but we ran 03 swing arms and forks on our Super Combats with a 14 and a half inch Works shock.

Ok so those 13-1/2ā€ shocks are probably for an 03. I tried them on my 94 Wombat and they were too stiff for me.
I also found these. They are 15-1/2ā€. So these might be 250 SL shocks? They say KYB on them.

Yep. My SL250 shocks are KYB and 15 1/2" eye to eye.
