The shock from a Gen III is better than the Gen II you are looking at.  It is also considerably cheaper and a direct fit for a Gen II bike.  Have a look at the parts fiche for the 2015 A model - link below

$418.36

Aftermarket shocks are even better but more than twice as much.

I would look into aftermarket if you are going to spend that kind of money.  Penske and Olins are widely installed.

How much do you want to spend?  You can get a used shock off Ebay for cheap, relatively speaking.  Or, Penski, Wilbers and other custom shocks for a bit more to a lot more.

Make some calls to local to you suspension shops.  You never know what they might have laying around, or if they can/will rework an OEM shock.  Some shops still do that.

No more than $350

Shop around and see if you can find a used Gen3.  As mentioned, direct swap and a little firmer than our Gen2's were.

Before you buy. I might have a lightly used 06 OEM.. not sure.. would have to look.. but if I do you can have it free for shipping.

Ok, that narrows the field.  Look for deals on Hagon shocks or used OEM Gen 3 versions.  Here is an example of a Hagon, though slightly more coin.  Solid reputation for quality and performance, but not, if I understand correctly, custom sprung for your weight/load.  LINK

Here is a used '07 shock for $131.57.  Not an upgrade, just like for like replacement, but at a fair price.  LINK2  I would contact the seller and find out how many miles is "low miles".  My OEM shocks seemed to be really good out to about 50k or so before I noticed any degradation.  YMMV.

Here is a YSS for ~$400, but it can be sprung for your weight for a bit more.  LINK3  In the UK though, but shipping is factored into that ~$400 price.

Just some examples.

My started leaking around 30k miles and she bone dry now; l will look into the miles on that used one or just buy a new Gen 3.

I want thank everyone for their help!
