If you want an RGV250 I have a VJ22 spare that needs some work.
Also I believe I have the rear wheel spacer for mk|/|| that your after.

Mito Rear Shock

I had noticed on the last few rides that the Ev1 wasn't feeling quite right & on investigation, the rear shock is now rather springy & appears to be leaking

Options....
Look for new shock...damn expensive
Look for second hand Mito shock & hope its good
Look for alternative Shock (RGV 250?, I do have a 3MA spare, but not measured it up.
Get my shock refurbed...but where & how much

That's the one with the reservoir yes & by work, do you mean refurb?
There are some RGV shocks on evilbay, also Mito ones, but I don't want to buy one that need refurbing really. I may as well get mine done as I have no issue with the standard rear shock when its working.
Be handy if you do have a spacer, save me making one matey

Yeah I'd recommend a refurb £100 by Brooke suspension, just a bit of weeping from the main seal.That's the one with the reservoir yes & by work, do you mean refurb?

If your not offended by the standard suspension it's not really with the cost IMO.
Yeah I'll have to look later after work for it but I'm 99% sure I have it as its the old one off my bike but as I now have marchesinis with it own spacer I don't need it.
I tried fitting the VJ22 rear shock on the Mito but causes so many issues,spring hits the air box so won't go on the carb,the banjo is facing the wrong way up so needs changing. Total ballache tbh lol
It won't a S.P part lol Just a regular Bitubo one that you can buy on eBay didn't think you would be interested

Pretty much as said what the issues are with it lol,the mk1/2 has different airbox compared to a Evo dont it? maybe a straight swap on that.
It could be made to fit if the same issues are on the mk1/2. If you are having it refurbed can have a new hose made with the needed banjos on.
It needs the top mount machined or grinded etc to the fit the Mito frame,bottom mount needs bushings made,simples.

Well it won't a standard shock, was a proper £340 jobby Bitubo,just needed funds quickly at the time.
Tbh if you can i would have the spacers welded onto the inside of the shock mount to spread the load on the bolt,regular spacers work just the force on the bolt
Luckily for you the amount you weigh has nothing to do with the shocks performance.
