Author Message   Wikid_intent Posted on Wednesday, March 18, 2009 - 09:25 am:        Ok i was riding home from work this morning and the rear end turns to mush, and starts pogoing out of every corner. Pull into my garage check the setting and they are all fine. Its seems to be leaking fluid, i am sure it needs replacing. This is the worst part at this moment 600 or 700 is just not and option for me, what else can i do?   Deanald2pt0 Posted on Wednesday, March 18, 2009 - 10:19 pm:        I feel your pain, I dropped off my 2002 X1W a few days ago at my dealer for some service and to fix a oil leak. They called today and informed me that in addition to a leak on my primary my rear shock was leaking. They where going to take a look at it to see what they could do, and told me that the part number for the shock was obsolete. I know there was a recall on some of these before, so going to ask about that. If that doesn't work I saw a few on ebay. I think we are in a similar place, I wasn't wanting to spend $600 or 700 either.   Wikid_intent Posted on Wednesday, March 18, 2009 - 11:16 pm:        Yeah my Dealer said mine had already been fixed under the recall years ago, so i guess now the search is on.   5liter Posted on Thursday, March 19, 2009 - 10:41 am:        There's one on Ebay right now. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Buell-Rear-Shock-W- Resevoir-S2-S3-New-NR_W0QQitemZ150332415324QQihZ00 5QQcategoryZ35569QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZView Item   Wikid_intent Posted on Friday, March 20, 2009 - 06:09 am:        Thanks for the heads up 5liter but i need the 16.5 and that is only 14.5.

I might be possible to use the shock shown above with this mount . . . http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/NEW-BUELL-SHOCK-MOU NT-RECALL-0824-94004Y_W0QQitemZ330314494524QQcmdZV iewItemQQptZMotorcycles_Parts_Accessories?hash=ite m330314494524&_trksid=p4506.c0.m245&_trkparms=72%3 A1205|65%3A12|39%3A1|240%3A1318 . . .or, contact Zack in parts at High Country Harley Davidson/Buell (a BWB sponsor). Zack has had several brand new later model rear shock packages (shock, mount, hardware) for sale at a pretty reasonable price. http://www.highcountryharley.com/ Hope this helps, Don   Wikid_intent Posted on Friday, March 20, 2009 - 09:29 am:        Thank you Don I will look at High Country first and weigh my options.
