My Lightnings rear shock is u/s, is it able to be reconditioned.
If not is an aftermarket shock available as i've been quoted approx 6 weeks
for std shock from the states.

Hope you guys can help.

Ta Neil.

AST.

There's a company in the NW that claims to be able to do it but you'll be wasting your money. I've sampled their wares and they're really shite. I think they forgot to put any oil back in it from the way it performed
Take the advice Maz gave you and fit an AST. It's possibly THE best performance accessory you could fit to a Buell and it won't grenade your motor

Powerstation......ask for Curtis.

Why do they list a different shock for the X1 & M2 - I can't think what is different apart from the X1 being a little heavier. My M1 has a recall shock fitted which entailed a different front mount if I remember - does the AST take account of that?

Yes.

AST will custom build a shock to your exact requirements.

Apart from weight of bike/rider and mounting points what else is there to think of

Ask Ronnie (post above yours) as he makes the AST

.....damping rates, hydraulic platforms, piggyback remotes, colours etc. etc.

Well Ronnie how do I find out more - on your website?

on our website there are no tuber shocks on

I only need to know the length of the shock(420 or 380)and your weight,that's all.
