It's mine. Maybe not a great deal but a good one at least. Just rebuilt my forks last night with the proper springs and wanted to complete the package.

I have been looking for a used shock with no luck and was hoping for a black friday deal.

Decided to just pull the trigger.

 
Congrats to you sir! I set my limit based on having looked at the Hyperpro Streetbox selling for only $699 and including rear shock and fork springs. I'm sure the Ohlins is probably better but for my riding and usage the Hyperpro should be fine.

Enjoy!

 
I stepped out when I realized I was up against all of you.

Real excited about the shock now. I was hesitant about it because of the stupid spanner type pre-load setting and the possibility I would have to remove the shock to adjust it. I didn't necessarily want a remote hydraulic adjustment, but would have been happy with the Penske type.

Went on traxxions site to order a sock for it and found this made for the ohlins. Pretty happy now.

Looks just like the adjuster for Penske. Nice find.

I just pulled the Penske off my bike on Friday after 2-years of service. It's not covered by a sock and it washed up to look like new. I had forgotten how easy it is to pull and mount the shock. I have the OEM back on until mine returns from GP suspension. After riding it I'm reminded how much you're going to really like the aftermarket shock.

 
For those of you that didn't win, GP suspensions has 25% off today for small business saturday.

My original plan was to hold off for this sale and buy a Penske but I needed a shock and didn't want to take the chance of the sale not happening.
