New shocks with original springs/covers?
« on: November 08, 2007, 08:13:32 AM »
Has anyone found a replacement shock for the K0/K1 shock that uses the original springs, chrome covers and stoppers (the half rings that hold it all together at the top of the shock)?
Thanks guys!
Cliff.

Thanks Andy and you're right - they are not cheap! I was hoping to track down just the shock. I have some springs and covers that are in excellent condition but the shocks are in dire need of some Viagra if you know what I mean.
Cheers,
Cliff.

Take a deep breath before you check the current exchange rate. ;)
