Shock needed - '89 XT600E in Thailand
Rear shock going, going, now about gone (blown) after 90,000-100,000 k's. I am in Chaing Mai, Thailand, where my local experts suggest there is little hope in breathing life into the old shock (rebuilding). So, any suggestions of getting one here in Thailand? I can pull the old one out and take it to Red Baron (bike breakers) in Bangkok and see if they have anything similar. Anybody know what other bikes used the same rear shock? Any idea what a new stock one costs? Import costs on new parts here might make that option cost prohibitive?
My Tenere has both electric and kick starter (a b**** to use!)
