    Hey folks,

    I found a great shock upgrade option for my 5th gen.

    The positive feedback makes me wonder if others would like help with doing the same upgrade. I think 4th gens. could also use the same shock with a different length top mount bracket.

    I figure I could make a top bracket from DOM rectangular tubing for about $75. Then you could get the parts and shock, to do it yourself.

    Or I could put together a complete parts kit (bracket, bearings/spacer washers), then you get a shock, and spring to do the assembly yourself.

    Or you could send me a shock, and I send you back a shock ready to install.

    Of course, the work would be for non-highway use, with no warranties express or implied. Just a fellow enthusiast helping you make you bike into exactly what you want. Let me know what kind of interest there might be in this sort of thing, people.

    Jose
