ponty Senior Member Powerbike Favourite Bike: Triumph 1050 Speed Triple Join Date: Apr 2008 Location: Wirral, England Posts: 364	Shock Absorber Question I was clearing out the garage yesterday and found a WP shock off my old gixer streetfighter. I stripped it down, had the reservoir reanodised and then forgot about it. It looks to be about the same length as the S3 and my question is this. Would it be worth getting a suspension shop to rebuild it to fit my S3 or just buy a ready to mount shock from WP, Ohlins etc?
