Rear shock

<< < (2/2)

jkindt:
Oh yeah, frame is definately a 1989. Verified with the VIN. I wouldn't have bought it if it had been older. I knew that with the '89+ frame I can still get parts if (when) I need them.  8-)

Polar-Bus:
I'm pretty sure that's an '85 shock from the looks of the external adjustment knob.

1989kawasaki:
sandblaster has a good shock here:

sandblaster:
I hate to admit it but I forgot I even had one....
I'd still look around and see if you can find a 2000 or newer.
If for no other reason then you might find someone who is willing to take less, and you might get one with less wear and has newer internals.
Thanks for the advertising though  :-o
