Jamie D. took my old 80's Works Performance shock from the VF500 which used a ball and spring damping system and fitted a modern Gold Valve into it. I'm sure he can probably fix that Penske right up for you without any trouble. I've typically seen that run around $200 but I'm not sure what he'll charge. Might want to ensure the spring is right for you too. Shoot him a PM.

Nah, not the same adaptor. It's a different modification but still doable for sure. Don't forget that the spring is all wrong and you would also want to adjust the valving too. Penske shocks are the best aftermarket shock, so even with the extra cost to convert you would have a very nice shock when you are done.
