PX shock with straight spring, not the original that bellows out in the middle. BGM, SIP, Fournales. The spacer bolt on the top of the shock may need to be smaller, you can buy them 25,35,45, & 75mm

I take it you are converting the front end.

Presuming that you're talking about the rear shock then all of them are the same. Where you'll need to look is the extension nut.

On a smallframe you don't use any at all, on a 8" wheeled bike you use one, from memory, around 26mm long. On a 10" earlier machine, Sprint, Rally etc. the nut is around 37mm long. Again that's from memory. A P range extension is approximately 50mm long.

So just to be clear you need the middle option as for Sprints & Rallys etc.
