......Yeah......I'm bidding. :cool:

Ummm... yea.. I want it...

go away joshua...you already have your turbo. :p

Thats why I need a new Shock... That turbo of mine is kicking the stock shock's ass....

dude, shut up...I'm already in the bidding process


nothing can be a secret around this place :rolleyes:

I just bid 1 MILLION dollars. It's MINE!!!

(JK btw... yeah, i want it...)

sorry if i outbid you.

are you really sorry? ;)

no not really...but there is still alot of time left. lol

there we go...a little honesty :)



in the interest of being a good sport: I asked the seller a few questions and he said 15,000 miles & set up for 190 lb rider

damn... $440.00 for a shock with 15k on it ( needing a rebuild ).

amazing.

no doubt...I dropped out fairly early in the bidding. did somebody here get it?

Yeah, a forum member got it. It's ironic that riders balk at paying for suspension (I was one) but happily fork over big bucks for hollow steel tubes with some fiberglass stuff in the end.

My wilbers shock calls for a rebuild between 20-30K miles at $90-125 service charge.

I'll spring for some better suspension (too big a guy to stick with stock) when the money's right. just looking for lower miles if i'm gonna buy used. picky, picky i know

haven't heard much about wilbers, good stuff?

The cost of rebuilding that shock is astronomical! $2.90 for a spring and $0.75 for o-rings...stock shocks are a lot cheaper...just stand up over the bumps:eek:

and just forget about the added:bling:

Fully adjustability Penske is worth the bling.

I am just saving for a new one.

It seems every bike I have owned I upgrade the forks and rear shock to make it "right".

THen I upgrade the brakes.

I never seem to upgrade the motor.

I agree that the SH motor is fine stock cuz it's got lots of torque, but it would be nice to stuff an RC51 motor in there;)

Yeah, the oil alone is about 4 times that!

Dangit! Now you have to buy new oil too to rebuild that sucker:(

Guess you'd be better of running a 2x4 back there;)

Filter, that red spring looks sweet! Nice rebuild pricing too:)

Filter, do you work at a shop that does suspension? How are you recharging the nitrogen?

No I'm a HVAC tech nitrogen is an easy thing. I deal with high pressure
liquids and gases all the time. I have used my manifold guage set to recharge many reservoirs.

Hell for that matter you could prolly go to your local gas dealer and pick up a 40 cu. in nit tank and a regulator and be
filling in no time ...

Regulator and tank are easy.. It's the set u0p to attach to and fill the shock.. Not as simple as a tire valve air chuck.

Being able to precharge the gauge, hose all the way to the needle valve is the key.. You get a perfect charge with zero pressure loss when you disconnect the set up.

Why not repressurize with air instead of nitrogen?

Nitrogen is a lot more stable than air. It's pressure doesn't change do to temp.

Oh, that make sense, but does this? If you're not racing and just doing spirited commuting wouldn't you be okay with just air cuz it's 78% nitrogen?

found this surfing: Standard dry air is mainly composed of three gases: nitrogen (about 78%), oxygen (about 21%), and argon (about 1%). Together, these three gases make up 99.96% of dry air.

Well nitrogen is DRY and normal air is not so you would have to deal with possible corrosion. Also the normal air may react with the oil turning it acid
or what have you to many variable's just use nitrogen and all will be well :)

All good points Filter, but since I can't fart nitrogen and I don't want to pony up for the tank and filling regulator I'll just have to let you know if I get make any acid or get corrosion problems in my remote reservoir at my next rebuild interval...:rolleyes:

Thanks bro!
