I thought i might buy the progressive shock for $80-100

ooops - it went for $356
thats a lot for something that may need a complete rebuild....

Not necessarily. The Ohlins I bought for the NX650 needed pretty much every part replacing, in fact I'm very glad I sent it to Robert before fitting as it had a hairline crack in the lower mounting. $250 for the shock and $420 for a full rebuild. That included a new spring to suit my weight, and a replacement end fitting (gratis, he had a row of them on the shelf ex-Suzuki race team GSX-R superbikes he'd upgraded to adjustable length).

All up $670 for an as-new shock that would've cost twice that (or more) to buy new. And boy did it transform the bike!!

Yep the wilbers I stuck in the back of the XTZ750 was $750 so $356 plus a rebuild is not that bad.

Cheers R

Yep, the Ohlins on the back of the PD only gets you small change from $2K.

That was my first ever go at trademe and I accidentally bid for the muffler, but lost so was ok. Bid $37 for the shock, but was late back from work and didn't get on to bid but was out of my range anyway. KLR handles ok anyhow.

I was reading one of the vendors on KLR.net doesn't recommend progressive shocks for the KLR for reasons I can't remember. They prefer to use a stronger normal spring I think.

In the weekend the lazy rear sure kept the wheel on the ground. Marks you got any spare RHside fairings?

well I've got a stronger spring - just needs putting on

you been doing even more plastic rooting?

if I ever bash mine up plastic wise (like a certain Transalp for example) I'll try and fit some earlier plastics like woody's - much more robust (for the average human anyway).
