Looking for shock, Penske/Ohlins etc and aftermarket exhaust for winter time install on my 2003 Bird in snowy Colorado. PM or email me with details and price.

Are you looking for a used unit rear unit and exhaust? If someone has a used ohlins, what are they replacing it with?? Good luck. Exhaust I've seen.

Canadianbird I have the stock shock with 6K miles on it but want an aftermaket shock so I could swap + cash or maybe they have their own stock shock.

I have to agree I was searching for used and just not happening. I was offered great deal on Penske via group buy but due to a tight wallet and other more pressing issues I had to cancel my order. I am just gonna suffice and get a Hyper Pro emulsion at 499 plus 14 shipping , it will be loads better than my stock shock which has been overhauled and recharged but now needs replacing...

My bird is at ProMechA Motorcycle Suspension Solutions right now getting a '95 CBR900RR shock rebuilt/revalved/re-sprung. I picked this shock up on ebay for US$30. I know it wont be as good as an Ohlins/Penske (but for $30, I dont expect it to be), but from all reports will be far superior to OEM. I am getting it back on Wednesday afternoon, and am taking on the track on Thursday. I will do a quick write-up on my (non suspension inclined) thoughts on this shock.

I am also upgrading my fork springs to 1.00kg/mm units and am having Promecha's 20SSK cartridges installed.
