Wanted: Rear shock for 01-03 RSV linkage

#1 Post by szrdave » Sun Oct 13, 2013 4:19 pm

My bike has been advertised for a few weeks now, starting at £1800 (which was fairly 'robust') and now reduced to £1500, with zero interest.

As this is probably the worst possible time to be selling a motorbike it probably needs to be even cheaper to shift it, so I plan on selling some of the nice bits separately.

It currently has an Ohlins shock and linkage from a 2003 RSVR fitted, so I'm on the lookout for a standard RSV/Tuono shock to fit this linkage.

If anyone has one to sell, or fancies swapping a stock shock and linkage with cash my way, let me know!

....

if you cover the postage, i have a stock blue spring and linkages......


Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

Damn - no internet at the wrong moment.
Could have off-loaded one of my stock of blue springs and got a spare ohlins for when I get mine re-fettled.
