What you think guys ? reason, well mine is on 15,000 miles and 5 years old, so i guess it wouldn't hurt. Externally the shot is in perfect condition by the looks of it.

both :) Buy the 03 shock and have it valved and sprung for your weight, then when it's done bolt it in place :) You lose no riding time, and will have a MUCH improved bike once you have it installed :)

Jay has a point, and you could always put your old shock on Ebay to recoup some of the initial outlay. A shock set up for you has to be best option but, although they quote 48 hours it could be six days with courier/postage. I have a shock that you can use if you decide to get yours done.

The reason I bought the 03 shock was because looking at GPsuspension the 98-01's are $500 to revalve and re spring, and the 02-03's are like $275 :)
