6th Gen Penske 8987 Shock EBAY

I figured I would share this with others since I'm unfortunately in no position to buy this no matter how badly I want to at this moment.

Penske 8987_Series Motorcycle Shock : eBay Motors (item 250584760068 end time Feb-28-10 09:30:04 PST)

Short of the 8970, this is the bad dude from Penske. It is a 3-way adjustable and ready to go. I asked the guy and it has a 1200lb spring on it which I believe is for rider+gear 220lb-240lb (or very close to it, check Penske's site for the correct range on the spring). It was just freshly rebuilt with new fluid and has 0 miles on it since the rebuild making it basically new. Short of the Ohlins, there isn't much better out there.

Hope someone finds a good use for this.

 

I would love that shock, however, isn't $450 a scosh high for a rebuilt unit...Or is it just me?

 

I dont think it is. I regularly see em go for 650 or more. It was just serviced and unless there are a few chips in the paint or scratches from installation and such, it is basically in brand new condition.

 

Thank you all for not bidding on this shock! $450 and it's mine.

 

I did bid on it.... didnt think i was gonna have the loot to do so but it showed up at the last minute. Unfortunately my freaking internet is slow as hell and it took 20 seconds to submit the bid at 15 seconds to go.
