Author Message   Michelangelo Posted on Sunday, May 09, 2010 - 04:55 pm:        What might cause this? Is it possible the previous owner let all the air or oil out of the shock? I tried turning the one adjuster (rebound?) all the way stiff and no diff. It's like riding oan bouncy toy.   Bluesboy Posted on Sunday, May 09, 2010 - 07:30 pm:        You need a new shock! Yours has out lasted it`s freshness dating.   Spiderman Posted on Sunday, May 09, 2010 - 07:38 pm:        Much like a horny penguin it blew a seal!   Ebutch Posted on Sunday, May 09, 2010 - 07:56 pm:        Yes could cause a Ruff-Ride   Buellistic Posted on Sunday, May 09, 2010 - 08:28 pm:        REBUILD or NEW shock time???   Ebutch Posted on Sunday, May 09, 2010 - 08:30 pm:        New ones have ben showing-up on E-Bay dirt-Cheap!!!!   Ebutch Posted on Sunday, May 09, 2010 - 08:40 pm:        http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/BUELL-SHOCK-95-96-S 2-S2T-99-00-S3-S3T-/400120586547?cmd=ViewItem&pt=M otorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item5d290ba133#h t_500wt_975 http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/BUELL-SHOCK-95-96-S 2-S2T-99-00-S3-S3T-/390192832603?cmd=ViewItem&pt=M otorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item5ad94e205b#h t_500wt_975   Ebutch Posted on Sunday, May 09, 2010 - 08:42 pm:        http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Buell-rear-pull-sho ck-DuraSport-series-Reservoir-/330362796239?cmd=Vi ewItem&pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item4 ceb2838cf#ht_1564wt_732   Ebutch Posted on Sunday, May 09, 2010 - 08:44 pm:        http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/HARLEY-DAVIDSON-BUE LL-S2-S2T-SHOCK-ABSORBER-KIT-NEW-/360259215047?cmd =ViewItem&pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=it em53e11f5ec7#ht_2633wt_978   Scs1 Posted on Sunday, May 09, 2010 - 11:10 pm:        Will these ebay shocks fit a s1? I did a "s1" search where your link was. There were 34 items but no shocks on there. My second freebee shock from HD could fail at anytime. Penske upgrade will have to wait.   Ebutch Posted on Monday, May 10, 2010 - 12:16 am:        yes first 2 best and last 1 not the best,they are Showa,s   Littlebuggles Posted on Monday, May 10, 2010 - 12:22 am:        Nathan, short answer is yes. You need to measure your current shock, with the wheel unweighted for the most accurate # but the gist of it is 14.8" ish is the new stronger front mount and shock, 16.5" ish is the old style. If you can find a new one of either style you'll only have to change the front mount to make it work. Mine felt a lot like a motorized pogo stick when it went bad. Upgrade, repair( rebuild with better valving too), or replace with stock parts from ebay or discounted dealer stock - those are your options in order of cost and ride improvement.   Michelangelo Posted on Monday, May 10, 2010 - 05:31 pm:        I do have these two shocks. Am I better off having this white spring AST serviced? If I do, how do I mount the remote resevoir?   Fahren Posted on Monday, May 10, 2010 - 05:39 pm:        AST would be my preference. No idea what it would need and how logistics of working with a Dutch company would be for that.
