WTB Rear Shock

[charismaticmegafauna]

A friend and FJR owner needs a good used, low mile, stock rear shock assy. He doesn't participate in these boards and has asked me to look for him. If you have one you wish to sell: please either post info here or pm me w/price, year, miles, etc and phone number, location...etc. and I'll pass it on.

tia, John

I guess he doesn't have a Y.E.S. or some other reason not to pursue a warranty issue?

You know, I don't think he does (he's never mentioned it). I'll have to ask him. He has an '04 with 60+ K miles and the damping of the stock shock is getting "limp". I think he just wants to kinda start over? And... is looking for someone's take-off.

I'll be installing my Wilbers in the next couple weeks, I have an 04' with about 13k on it.

I've got an '05 with 6,000 miles on it. My Wilburs goes on Saturday.

He says he doesn't have the "chutzpa" to ask for a warranty replacement after 60+K miles. He would, however, be willing to buy a low-mileage take-off shock.

Theres one on Ebay now with an alleged 900 miles on it.

Thanks, I'll check it out. Like I mentioned -- he's electronically/keyboard challenged (I think he just rides all the time...) -- so, I may have to do it? Friendship may only go so far....? He does have a telephone, tho!

i'll be at laguna seca tomorrow for a track day and will headed out at 6am in the morning.

this shock was offerd to the person who started this post and if they pass on it, i'll make a post listing to any one else.

SO, please stop sending me emails requesting it be sent to you!! i was trying to help someone out here, NOT everyone else.

thanks in advance,

Well, my friend (the one who doesn't do computers) has his replacement, take-off, rear shock for his 60+K mile '04. Thanks to all who replied to the request; and, a special thanks to ApexMolester. Shows, I think, how well this board can work; and is just another of its many benefits.
