US EBay for a brand new standard one or PM Ronnie for an AST.

Secondhand ones will be past their best by now.

Wow 980 euros didn't think would be that much !

What about these progressive spring conversion ??

Do you not think it is a damping issue?

I'm new to the bike world so still learning .how can I tell what problem is ? . What about a rebuild ??

These people did my X1 about four years ago and it's been good ever since, they charged about £100 but postage there and back cost a further £80 so £180 all in

By altering the pre load, you're not making it 'harder' or 'softer', the spring rate is what it is, unless it's progressively wound.
I once experienced a 'rebuilt' shock on a Buell and it was a complete waste of money, going from one extreme to the other on the damping made very little difference
Falcon have a poor reputation in the Off Road world, it's not unknown for them to leak almost from new.

Two things you can do are;
1. Don't take pillions - bikes don't handle 2 up
2. Buy a AST shock - the best thing you can ever bolt on to a Buell

Do u have any idea how much I would be looking at for a AST shock ? Cheers

Like I said, PM Ronnie

I have one on mine, ask anyone who has one. It a transforms the handling.

Approx the same as 2 sets of tyres - and it lasts a LOT longer

Just too add to that, because the AST controls the rear end far better, the rear tyre will last far longer.

Had a AST on my X1 for 2yrs, 15,000 miles with no problems best thing to fit to bike highly recommended

I recently had a price from AST for a M2 Shock which is exactly what it was. A bit of a shock at £768. Was looking around and saw these guys...anyone ever used their rebuild service ( from £99.99 ) ?
