the best cheap way to upgrade rear shock
Posted: Thu Jun 14, 2012 10:52 am
I picked up an '08 Shock assy off Ebay with about 3K miles on it for 110 with shipping. Bolted right one, Spring with it is just fine and dandy. Also , later picked up an 09 carb with about 2K miles on the bike for near 100 bucks shipped, Can't buy parts for that price.
