A GT650 shock should be easier to get hold off in your States , than here in UK, from a local USA bike wrecker, they are a bit stronger than the 250 shocks to be fair and will make the bike sit a bit higher.
If it sits higher, anyways, not an issue. Make sure you get a GV250 side stand (dont bother with chinese stands, they WILL warp) That way a shock that sits a little higher will be thankful you used a GV250 side stand so that the bike stays tilted left than too straight up ready to tip over.
A 650 is easily most bolt in option. I’ve seen shocks with gas extensions and what not, they will either be too tall, or hits battery box or hits swingarm, etc.
I personally will be testing various shocks on my own donor GTs and GVs so i know what works best etc before i advise further. However, if you have big bank, HAGON RACING make ace suspension stuff for the 650, so you can probably get a race grade shock made for the 650 rear to fit 250 no problem.

Hey,
Well ive decide to trust in my own skills as far as stands go, i work in aero space machining and i made my own lowering links and ill make my own kick stand on a 5 axis mill at my job, and the main reason im going out of my way to get all of these parts and swap out alot of components is bascially to see if i can and get the experience and practice in, so ill know how, when i get a more expensive bike, now thus far ive totally rebuilt alot of the bike, ive gotten several sprocket setups to see what i like best i just like a few more things before i call it quits, and by that point the bike wont even be recognizable, and belive it or not the more common and popular things are the hardest to get, you relize a hy 6507 K and N filter for me to get is 70 to 80 usd plus another 40 to 50 dollars shipped? Are you kidding, ill find a alternative route before i pay 130 for a filter…. ill make my own custom setup for that price 😆, but anyways i highly apperciate every 1 help, next thing to find is bar end weights that will fit this bike.
