Has anyone any idea what shock works best for this bike for under £300.00?

I intend on doing a few track days this summer and I have been advised that my OE shock will die after a few laps.

Replaced the oil in my front forks last year, what a difference that made. Suppose I have been putting off the rear shock due to cost, can't handle the crap handling anymore must change it now!!!!

:rotfl

You could always look into having your oem shock rebuilt & set up for the track, might be cheaper than buying new?. :confused

Did think of this but the spring is heavily corroded and the hose to the canister is perished. To replace the two items alone would cost almost half of the cost of buying a new aftermarket shock.

Thanks for the advice though!

Possibly check on E-BAY, hey! you never know :cheers

Sounds like a good plan!

Have opened up another browser page now and lets see what I can find.

Seem to remember doing this last year and ended up buying a Scorpion carbon fibre finish rear can. Sounds awesome but the bike still handles like a pregnant elephant.
