Does anyone have a spare pair (or even a single) used blistein rear shock(s) for a 400 they could sell me (mine are yellow springs / green shock)?

My rear offside shock has decided to malfunction - and the rear end is a tad bouncy to say the least! This will only be tempory, as I intend to rebuild the whole suspension at some stage in the near future and buy an adjustable shock kit. However funds are not allowing this at the mo!

Cheers,

Toby.

Thanks for that - did see that earlier, but was hoping to be paying a bit less than that for one used shock.

A pair for that price wouldn't be too bad. May have to go down that route if nothing else about. Cheers..

How long can you wait? I will be swapping my rears for my Racing Reds pretty soon - my originals are fine and have done 50,000 miles.

Hi,

I have two lying on my workbench.
They where swapped for protechs when i changed the complete wishbones, bushes etc.

They are in good shape.

If you want pictures etc i can send them, just pm me.

regards michiel

Will do - I won't be the least bit offended if you source one beforehand as depending on how the plumbing goes this week I might fall a bit behind on my schedule.
