No. I asked my brother if he had ever changed the shock and he said no. It may have been changed by the previous owner? Here's a shot I took at Xmas, can you tell whether it is original from this:




As to the screen, those pics were taken by my brother so he must have changed the screen. Here's another shot as it is now:




This is going in BikeTrader for 2,750.

That looks very much like someone has either had the blue spring powder coated or (more likely) replaced the standard blue spring for a Hyperpro progressive spring. That purple colour is their trademark and is subtly different to the colour Maxton use. The rest of the shock looks standard OE Sachs.

If you can manage to get a close up of the shock/spring that would help a lot in identification. If (as appears likely) that is a Hyperpro spring, you might also have a set of Hyperpro fork springs installed. I've always been very impressed with Hyperpro stuff, particularly the fork springs.

Here's a link to their site:

Hyperpro list fork and shock springs and a combined kit for the Falco.

Agreed - as best as you can see from the pic, the shock body looks as though it could be a standard sachs.
The spring replaced or recoated

Thanks, I reckon 2750 is the right price to advertise. I'm not desperate to sell. Autotrader dealer prices are 3250 - 3500 for the same year/condition.
