How horrible...about 700 miles ago (20K) the front of my shock on my '02 S3T started weeping. A little fluid at first but now: torrents. It sure rides nice ...like a wing with low tire pressure but it is not so good in the turns or esses. I understand there are several ways to go about replacement so I am seeking the Fountian Of }Knowledge that is Badweather. Help if you can please. |

The most easy/cheap method is to buy one from ebay. Choppers don't have suspension in the rear. |

Mine took about a year of leaking and quite a few thousand miles before it gave up the ghost. I ended up buying a Works Performance from American Sport Bike and have been pretty happy with it. It is a lot costlier to buy an aftermarket but at least you know you are getting a decent shock. If you buy a used one it may bite it soon after, but then you'll have a spare to send in for repair. |

Hey Wolf, (and others) thanks for the input...except a $1200 shock from penskie is not exactly what I need...can I get a response closer to the $2-300 range? I thought there were several re-builders out there I could trust. Thanks again. |

can you have your shock rebuilt. i had my penskie rebuilt and it wasnt that expensive and it works like new. |
