Arite ppl I am looking for feedback. Is there any interchangable shock for the 885. Mine is a 96 model, carbs.

I have missed weeks due to tooing and froaing from an engineering shop, recommended by a friend, they can't fix it.

I can'y afford the amounts asked for a new one or the refurbed so looking at ebay for a second hand something or other.

Help appreciated  :notworthy

I had my 97 stock shock rebuilt, recharged and added a stiffer spring.  Works like new.  Cost $100.
