    Hello Group, I am new to forum and in the process of restoring a 1984 vf1000, does anyone have or know of, where I can get a rear shock or have one rebuilt or know of a replacement?

    I have a YSS on a 1984 VF1000F and 1986 VF1000R, as well as 4 other bikes. I think they are a very good value and perform nicely.

    Here's a thread on the my 84 when I did a wide wheel swap and installed the YSS. It has some specifics about the shock choice and fitment.

    Separate ride and pre-load adjustment. Rebound dampening adjustable. Good looking too.

    This is the shock and vendor I recommend.
