Looking for a lightly used stock - 5000 miles or so. Maybe someone doesn't need theirs after going with the GP Suspension group buy. I'm trying to limp along for a few more miles on a stock shock until I can get an aftermarket system.

Mine is rideable without bags fully loaded, but with bags fully loaded I'm wallowing all thru the curves if I press it the least bit. I don't even want to think of what would happen with the wife on the back. Was hoping to have a better shock for when my wife and I take our yearly ride.

Looking for something in the neighborhood of $70.00 shipped as was recently done on a different thread.

Anybody got one?

I have my original shock. How quickly are you needing it? With 2000 miles on my bike I put new brake lines and disks and the wilbers. So it only has that many miles on it. I sold my brake disks to valetz. I don't think if I ever will be using the shock either. But I'm not the mechanic other people are so to say I have EVERY part left over from the swap might be a stretch. I had the dealer put it on for me. Its been sitting in the garage for a year and a half. You might have to buy a few misc nuts and bolts or use what's on yours. Let me know.

Hey, we've seen the semi-naked pictures of you, whale-boy! :scare: (Er...uhm...I am in the same category. :secret: ) You'd better invest in the aftermarket shock.....

Looks like you have it covered, but if not, I'll let my '04 stocker with 25k or so on it go for $50+ shipping. Includes the mounting plate/abs support that the hard/soft lever is bolted to. Should keep you on the road for a bit longer before you bite the bullet and go aftermarket.
