  1. I have seen a lot of talk about people needing rear shocks rebuilt for our RSV's I was in the same boat I looked into both having my shock repaired by @dfitzbiz and I contacted and spoke to the people at Hagon Both methods have their positives and their negatives But in looking at Partzilla they offered an OEM shock for about $780 the web site said it will ship in 2-3 Days So I decided to pull the trigger (yes I know sometimes waiting can be a crap shoot with them) I ordered the shock on a Monday, it shipped by Friday, and I received it on Saturday (I paid the few dollars for upgraded shipping) the new shock was almost an exact fit There was one difference, this was a superseded part number and the new shock was for later model RSV's Which means it comes with a vent tube going into the rubber accordion boot. The shock came with a peel and stick retainer clip to secure the vent tube up near the battery The ride is awesome I have about 30 pounds of air no more bouncing after I hit a bump TLDR - Partzilla can get a new OEM shock minor differences for the early RSV's expensive $780 but the ride is awesome
  2. I need the shock for my 99 RSV rebuilt if you are still rebuilding them

      The repair I do is to replace the O ring above the lower clevis and replace the suspension fluid. The repair doesn’t address any other issues. This repair cost $100, via PayPal, in advance, as friend/family to dfitzbiz@yahoo.com, and that includes return freight to you.

      My address is:

       Let me know how you would like to proceed.  Thanks
