Default Rear aftermarket shock

I'm looking for an in-expensive aftermarket shock for my 2002 Honda CBR F4i.. Anyone know of someone selling one or a place that has them for a good price?



Thanks!!!

Whats your price range? Checkout Traxxion Dynamics on Atlanta, Ga... They are decent priced and do great work! I had them do a complete rebuild/respring on my shock for $300 even.

The easiest thing is to get a spare shock, send it off to be fixed, then swap it out with the one on the bike and sell the one that was on the bike....

If you do that let me know, I still have my factory shock off my bike cause I did it that way...

I looked on their webpage and didn't see much. Should I just call them and get a price for them to rebuild? And how much are you whilling to get rid of your old one for?

Yea best bet is to call them, I want to say Mike is the guys name who I worked with. I paid $45 for the shock from my friend whose local and has an f4i, so Id like to get that out of it. So $45 plus shipping?? Still would be cheaper than most on ebay. Reason i like doing it this way is I didnt have any down time on the bike!

That sounds like a plan... How long did it take to get the shock back from them?

They will only re-valve the stock shock, it will still be limited by the design. That said unlike everyone else I think the stock shock is ok so a re-valving would probably give great results.

Hi Nyace24, you probably shouldn't put your email in a public forum. I recommend taking your business to private messages. Click on someone's name and go to "Send a private message to...".
I suggest editing your above post so your email does not appear.

turn around time from traxxion is usually like a week to two at most.... Thats why I say its best to have a 2nd shock to send them as theres no bike down time!
