Why not buy one that fits, made from Hagon, Wilbors, YSS or simular?
By the time you have sourced a used shock, modified it and the bike to sorta fit, had it serviced ect ect, youre way over the price on a "right" one.

True but used ones are very cheap here in Greece and i'm an mechanical engineer so i might modify it quite cheap... the best thing would be what you say Jens , but it's very expensive!

Well look whos talking..like you never spend time doing things with bike that most likely are wasted? Its part of the fun with old bikes, you make things fit and its cheap and maybe as good as the really expensive new stuff.

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
