Does anyone know of any other bikes that use the pull shock setup? just can't afford a 1000 for a shock.

If your going to spend that much money on the twin shock you might as well go with the Penske. For less than $200 more there is way more adjustment. I roadraced with Penskes for 6 years and you get what you pay for but.... yes it is a lot of money. Unfortunately there just isnt many alternatives. I put the Penske on my S1W and love it. You could always send out the stock unit to Race tech and have them rebuild.

I just bought one off ebay for $200 with the short length front mount. BTW does anyone know the length of the preload adjustment on a X1 with the shorter shock? Both '01,'02 shop manuals show for the longer shock.

There are new OEM shocks listed on ebay from $300-$500.

Good luck!! I bought one used one and it turned out to be a dud. Tried to get one rebuilt with no luck. Was going to bite the bullet and get a Works shock @ $700 and finally found a new in the box 16.5 stocker.

I road my S3 for years on the stock shock/forks as I didn't have the money either.

That said, once I did bite the bullet, changing to a Penske and respringing and adding gold valve emulation to the forks was the BEST money I ever spent on the bike.

If you are planning on keeping the bike - find a way you won't regret it!

I have a Penske brand new 8987 triple adjustable shock with remote resovoir. I will do 600 plus shipping for this web site.

Sorry for any confusion mine is for an xb 15,5 inches

That's a smoking deal on a Penske... too bad I'm a novice in suspension adjusting.. the more the adjustments, the more mistakes I'll make

Disregard the PM about the Penske. I just found your post in the classifieds. The shock is for an XB not a tuber. Big difference.
