GK73A Rear shock
Posted: Mon May 16, 2011 7:24 pm
Hi guys,
During the strip down of my new GK73a, Ive realised the rear shock is in dire need of replacement. The spring is VERY rusty, the adjusters and seized and the shock its self looks shagged. All this is probably due to the previous owner removing the rear mud guard and then proceeding to ride the bike
The offerings on ebay are rather... ropey for the money. Does anyone know if shocks from another year (K series?) will fit with a little modification? If not, do any of you kind folk have an old shock lying around that you would let go for a modest price?
Thanks!
