Has anybody tried fitting a rear shock from a later model to an A1P 636?

Mines a bit tired and B and C model units seem to come up fairly regularly on fleabay.

If so are they any better, the other alternative is to get mine rebuilt and revalved by Maxton.

Cheers

If its rebuildable then thats the cheapest option as it will be to your weight and riding style.

Don't buy a B model shock.......WAY TOO HARD!!!!

My arse will agree!

If you want a new shock I fitted a Matris rear shock and the quality is great with both high and low speed damping reice was reasonable. Check out www.pdq1.com

Think I'll get Maxton to rebuild and respring the existing shock, then I know it will be spot on for me, they have quoted £130+vat so doesnt seem too bad.

Thanks for that Dale, that's good to know.
There's still only 7k miles on my A1, but I really like the way it feels so I'd go for a rebuild over an aftermarket one.
