Whilst spares for the rear suspension are hard/impossible to source, would suggest giving Maxton's a ring to see if they can re-furbish them. Don't disagree about Hagon Nitro's great shock and a brilliant equivalent to the standard suspension, but I believe Maxtons sometimes can manufacture or acquire parts others can't. Worth a call anyway.

The stock shocks on a 14 aren't too bad when in good condition.
Certainly better than the "fake" Ohlins fitted to the XJR.

I know a couple of members have fixed theirs,
others (in the UK) have had theirs profesionaly rebuilt. 



I have stock shocks on mine, but have used Maxton in the past,
(GSXR1100) not cheap but good results.

Welcome  :hat:

The shocks can be fixed by yourself (see tips on this forum and elsewhere) or for little money by a professional.

I got mine, after 44000 km by previous owner, repaired, completely overhauled, and set up for me by a suspension specialist for lots less than comparable new ones. At your's low mileage only a repair is needed. Also suggest a change of the fork oil and dialing in the suspension settings.

Well I tentatively think I might have fixed that dodgy shock. I'll post about it in the suspension section.
