The cheapest replacement shock that I found was £248 delivered from Hagon,I forget the web address but they're easy enough to find.

All XT6 shocks fit all Xt6s...if you see what I mean.
Find a good S/H shock from a later XT6.
There is nothing more reliable on the market.

Cheers to you both, I've got a glass of egypts "fineist" in my hand as I type. If I go with the new one, I'll use Hagon. Despite visiting over 100 UK parts sites, the only other online distributer (BB) have one for the same price, but wiothout dampning adjustment, or ride hight adjustment. My mechanic here in Cairo says he mey have a new TT shock available (at a yet to be decided price). I guess its off a late model TT, would you expect that to fit too? Anyone?
