pauls0311xx Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 What do you recommend for rear shock upgrade? I have seen some people changing a different Honda rear shock but don't remember which model bike they used one from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redbird Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 From the main site, in the modifications section- I bought the 900 shock from a local shop for $50. Many others have reported paying anywhere from $50 to $125, which is still reasonable. You will need a shock from a '93-'95 model; the later years won't fit. This will carry one of the following part numbers: MWO-003 MWO-0132A MWO-0132B MAE-0032B The Showa part numbers starting with "MAS" are the wrong part and will not fit (it is 3/4" too short).

XXTi Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 I like my Penske 8981. Traxxion Dynamics has a Penske "Sport Shock" that several guys have been happy with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v00d00child Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 Just put my Penske sport shock on last month, along with some 1.1 fork springs from Traxxion Dynamics. I sent them my 900RR shock for a refresh, but one of the techs called & gave me an earful about how for 150-200 more bucks, I'd get a real shock instead of the mediocre 900RR (if they're so good, why did the 900RR owner's throw them away? was his comment). Anywho, after a month and 1500 miles on the Penske, all I can say is it's much more responsive & easier to corner. Got the shock and the springs for under $700 shipped.

RodeRash Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 Penske !!! You can get a Penske sport shock from Traxxion set up just for you for less than $600. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiDNiTXX Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 Penske is nice but I didn't want to wait 2+ weeks for it and no preload adjuster (remote). edit: so that means I went with ohlins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
