ZX12R Rear Shock

[98ninja]

due to the fast paced nature of my work ive noticed there are a few quite cheap standard rear shocks for zx12s on ebay USA.
Is it worth it and who would i go to for getting a standard rear shock revalved and re whatevered for a 90kg rider?
any idea on costs?
the standard rear shock as is seems to be for a rider a fair bit lighter than me.

the standard rear is set up for a 65kg Jap weakling
but readily adjustable ..via valving and spring changes to suit you.

I am 85kg and set up my ZX12R rear suspension (and front also) to suit me
and my riding style.

I would go either the OE (re-valved or new)or a decent aftermarket shock
...neither which are cheap. A cheap shock on a Zx12r is a no-no imho

for most riders, the stock shock can be set up *just fine* - Zenodamper are a sponsor here, they are in Sydney, but worth the trip down to get your shock set-up for you.

Local to Newcastle ? Graeme Boyd - is he still around ? Would be worth checking with him. Graham Morris (ex-racer) used to run a shop up that way, he might also have some leads for a local wizz....
