Like it says in the thread title. I have a Yellow spring Sachs shock for sale. The shock is in excellent cosmetic and mechanical condition, having recently returned from a full service at Revs Suspension.
I'm asking £130 delivered or £120 cash if you can collect from Sheffield or Stafford. Pictures below:

That is a really good price for a recently serviced unit. Anyone still suffering a stock blue unit should spend next weeks housekeeping on this

I'll second what FatBoy said - going from the blue-spring to the yellow-spring makes a world of difference to how well the Falco handles.
It's the V-twin thing. There's just something about it that inline-4s don't have at all, and V-4s don't have enough of.

Cheers, I have the standard blue sachs shock at the moment which either isn't too bad (8000 miles on bike) or I've just gotten used to it.
Looking forward to fitting the new shock and buggering up me settings!

Yes, I forgot to check what the compression and rebound damping settings were (rule of thumb says start off in the middle of the adjustment range), in fact everything should have been as Revs Racing set it after the service. Ride height will amost certainly be set higher than the standard blue spring shock, so the bike should steer a tad more quickly (a good thing in my opinion).
Happy fettling...
