Author Message   Pgh_biker Posted on Wednesday, March 21, 2012 - 08:55 am:        What has any one done regarding shock replacement vs shock rebuilding? I see there is a Penske one for sale but the $1000 price is too much for me.   Two_seasons Posted on Wednesday, March 21, 2012 - 10:20 am:        Works shock is a little cheaper. Or, you can call RaceTech and have them rebuild it. Check your front forks too and let them do them if you can afford it.   Koz5150 Posted on Wednesday, March 21, 2012 - 11:00 pm:        I sent mine in last week to Race Tech. $170 for the rebuild and they are turning it around in under a week. that includes adding the nitrogen recharch valve which means if I need it rebuilt again in 10 years it will cost even less. Considering I only use it one the street, I do not need an $800 new shock at this time.   Pgh_biker Posted on Thursday, March 22, 2012 - 03:32 pm:        Thanks for the info. I called around and if I take the spring off this place in MI called "Shock Therapy" said they will do it for around $100 for everything. I also called a place in Jersey and they were the same as the Left coast about $200. Will let you know how it turns out.   Ghettobirdpirate Posted on Thursday, March 22, 2012 - 11:49 pm:        You can check here too. http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/21/ 670463.html?1330799046   46champ Posted on Saturday, March 24, 2012 - 02:26 am:        I just put a Works on my M2 it is so much better than the stocker I can't believe any tuned stocker could be as good. But it did cost money.   Koz5150 Posted on Saturday, March 24, 2012 - 07:21 am:        Race Tech called last night and my shock is ready to ship home.$170+$35 (shipping both ways) and the did the work in 4 days   Pgh_biker Posted on Thursday, March 29, 2012 - 10:33 am:        Thanks for the link Ghettobirdpirate, I just ordered one at $250 shipped and it is the newer style with the thicker eyebolt. Just have to change the front bracket to accept the shorter length.   Easyrider Posted on Thursday, March 29, 2012 - 12:59 pm:        new and original never been out the box: http://www.twinmotorcycles.nl/webshop/artikel.asp? guid=YXHFSC&aid=4285&cid=214&s=&a=&aname=OEM_Buell _S1_S1W_M2_NEW_Original_shock or the version we developed in case nobody else will do that - 38 cm http://www.twinmotorcycles.nl/webshop/artikel.asp? guid=YXHFSC&aid=3788&cid=9865&s=&a=&aname=Buell_M2 X1S1S2S3_rear_shock_38cm_149_inch - 42 cm http://www.twinmotorcycles.nl/webshop/artikel.asp? guid=YXHFSC&aid=4323&cid=9865&s=&a=&aname=Buell_M2 X1S1S2S3_rear_shock_42cm_1574_inch   Ghettobirdpirate Posted on Friday, March 30, 2012 - 06:39 am:        You are very welcome Pgh biker.
