Hi, anyone got a rear shock for 1998 r1100s sitting on shelf gathering dust? Mine has failed and needs replacing ....limited budget so no silly prices can pick up if not too far from south wales

Hunyani - contrary to popular belief these shocks can be rebuilt. There was a thread recently where several people had this does at a firm in East England at a a very reasoanable £80 plus parts - my mate had his done and it was turned round in a week.
Any second hand shock you buy for a 1100S is just waiting to fail like the one you've got

Here's the thread viewtopic.php?t=21550
Never seen one or heard of a test, but at this price certainly worth considering. http://www.brooksuspension.co.uk/motorc ... rs-98.html
