    XL600V Rear Shock

    Just taken bike for MOT. Not sure how it passed last one with previous owner since a Fair few things wrong but the garage will keep it to repair bits for MOT.

    BUT it appears it has the wrong Rear shock absorber. The previous owner fitted a Hagon shock absorber but apparently it WAY to short (Which explains why its a pain to put on center stand) so there is do play in rear suspension. So i need to fit a standard one and wandered if this would fit:

    OR

    OR

    Or should i buy new? Also is there any other Rear shock thay would fit?

    The Aussie one looks to be in far better condition than the U.K. one.They both look right,you may want to check the length just to make sure.As for the last link new Hagon shocks for £105??.They look like twinshock ones in the picture but there are plenty of monoshock bikes listed.

    I have emailed them,the monoshocks as any fule no are £255.
