Good luck with sale, that’s a truly superior shock, at what I’m guessing is a reasonable price. It may help if you state the age and operating hours on the shock, and how it is sprung. A 200 lb street rider compared to a 160 racer will almost certainly have different recommended spring rates.

Shock was on dedicated track bike, so not significant amount of hours. Sessions are 20 min each, 5 sessions/ trackday multiplied by 15 trackdays = 17-20 hrs Tops. I’m 175 lbs. Good feedback, thx

God I want this for no good reason. Will it fit a 2006?

From what I was told by the Penske rep in MA when I bought my rear shock from him ‘05-present used the same shock dimensions.

I’m not really sure but I will make enquiry

Same mounting points?

Same mounting points?

I'd really rather have Lloyd weigh in on this rather than potentially giving you bad information. I THINK the only difference may be the width of the pins the shock mounts to. What I am completely in the dark about is how the top end of the shock may interact with the underseat exhaust. Having the shock reservoir connected to the top mounting point may cause the oil to run hotter than desired.

I know that most top end shocks have the option of the remote reservoir as well as the top end mount. Don't know if it is cost effective to modify to that configuration, or if it is necessary.
