Much unloved big brother of the 250 wet dream.
I had one at Meads when i worked there that holed a piston and needed a new generator assembly to cure it which was expensive, balance chain can be a bit of a pain and blocked carbs can be a real nightmare, localy the dealers used to send them away once for ultrasonic and if that didnt work new carbs 5

The maximum length of the shock is fixed by the length of the damper rod Ted, it can only get shorter as wheel is pushed up then returned by the force of two springs.
As to swapping them remove rear bootrest bolts and you should get enough "wiggle room" to get bolts out 6

I dont think you can buy it, i remember the operator saying there was a "secret" ingredient.
Look up Mike Brewer and Elvis doing a C reg (first C!!) 850 mini in cream, they did the grill, bumpers, maybe hub caps and other bits 11
