Hey all,
The rear shock on my 99 M2 has no compression and is leaking oil. I need to get it rebuilt, does anyone know a good place to send it to for a good price? Also, what other years and model rear shocks bolt up to the 99 M2? Thanks again!! Frank.

Better off getting an aftermarket shock.

After Shocks in CA did mine; Race Tech (may direct you to a local service provider, the local dude here was not familiar with our bikes) also does them and I think I've read about another but not sure who....

About $350 or so for mine a few years ago with custom valving and set up to bolt on an ride. I was very pleased with the rebuild, softened the compression by a quarter turn for my interstate commuting, otherwise it was great.

The lock ring spun loose on the race track and I secured it later but the preload is off a bit now. I never addressed this with them.

guys,
I am trying to do a "budget build" on the bike. I just bought a house and don't have as much extra dough as I used to: ) I can't really afford an aftermarket shock, anything will be better than now, it is like a pogo stick! Ha ha. I think I will end up buying a used shock. Anything in particular I should be on the look out for? Thanks, Frank R.

I can check the spare I've got in the garage if you like, do as Fasted says and make sure the adjusting screws still work and it hasn't sprung a leak.

It's a 14.5" unit I got to get me by while I had the other rebuilt, I only ran it on the bike for three weeks, got it from someone here for $75 shipped.
