    I'm extremely happy with my ELKA rear shock. It was set up by the factory for my weight & riding style. Not cheap but worth it IMO.

    Default Sure....

    If you find any of the GS, RS, RSS, ST rear shock they should work fine. Just need to set up the adjustment to suit your ryde. If you go for new there are quite a few out there but as you will see quite pricy in some cases.... the oem new from Cheapcycleparts.com are $99.00

    Hi 267,
