pick Posted June 25, 2008 Share #1 Posted June 25, 2008 Just got back from the Smoke Out 9 in N. Carolina. I know I read somewhere here that rear shocks will not bottom out? We hit a few dips on I-85 coming home, and with the bike packed and the OL and I, I swear it bottomed out twice, hard! Parked the bike in the garage after the 400 mile trip home and I have a pretty good wet spot right under the rear, lower shock mount? Called Yamastealer and they want $485.00 just for the shock. Anyone know of a less expensive option? thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V7Goose Posted June 25, 2008 Share #2 Posted June 25, 2008 No less expensive option, but there is one and only one more expensive option. Works Performance. Once the bike is out of warranty, that seems to be the way to go. Goose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a shock company under the "Works" brand that is THE shock to have, but it's a grand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FJR Rider Posted June 25, 2008 Share #5 Posted June 25, 2008 It's not a Grand, more like approximately $650...check with Rick at Buckeye Performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gibvel Posted June 25, 2008 Share #7 Posted June 25, 2008 I was quoted 900+ dollars. Well, they found out that you had a CT on your bike so they figured you fall for anything. :rotf: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
