Hi fokes

Looking for for bit advice please

Thinking of purchasing a new rear shock for my 2011 orange five pro

I have seen a few fox float rp23 adaptive logic boost valve kashima flavour for sale on a few places

Size 190x51
Mount bushes 6mm x22mm each end
Boost valve tune 200
Velocity tune medium
Rebound tune medium

I currently no my shock is 190x50 with boost valve 225

Will the one above fit onto my 5? With any issues?

Your expert advice would be very much appreciated

Thanks in advance

Brian

Yip was going for the kashima upgrade plus my shock needs servicing and this seem to be the cheapest option as can pick a new one up for £150

Just wasn't sure if it would fit or not.

Could I use the top hats of my old shock? Or would I have to buy new from tf or mojo

I thought the standard orange 5 shock had high velocity tune.
