If any of you are interested I'll install it & do a test ride this weekend. It was done up by Sasquatch in Idaho for my 07 Tigger.

And if we are not interested you will be low riding a hard tail?  Na, don't do that to yourself.  My 05 shock is so fancy it doesn't even come apart; just tolerate and toss.

You will enjoy it, changing the shock on my 885 was the best money I've spent on the bike.

Sasquatch converts the non-serviceable shock into serviceable and can change the valving as well as the spring.

He says there's nothing that can be done to 955 shocks, though.

Just sayin'.

Is WP still around?  I had heard they were under different ownership and are just doing exhausts now.

Or I'm totally wrong.  Again.

Wilber?  Penske?  Ohlins?  Just a few suggestions.  WP works, too if you can get them to build you one.  Call Race Tech or Traxxion Dynamics.  A rear shock is going to cost $$$, but the results are amazing.
From parts unknown.

Wilber and Penske are your side of the pond.

Ohlins don't make one for the Tiger, so WP seems to be the choice, their website is still going but no idea if the company is.

I was confusing White Power with White Brothers, which was sold to Vance & Hines.
