Hi, been offered a pair of rear shocks for my K5, their off a K3 and done only 5k miles, first of all I presume they are the same as mine and secondly, are they worth 150 quid?, thanks.

seth

early ones had silver springs and the adjusters leaked after a short time
later ones had red springs and lasted a bit longer before the adjusters leak.
all fixable and loads of info here .
check the adjusters move on both shoxs then seam a good price . :cheers:
only a slightly modified gsx1400
oh and a standard one too

Was going to ask around £200 but with Brexit and currency flucktuations then inflation taken into account along with the rise in prices of the 1400 and the price of lamb constantly rising - of course the cost of postage is astronomical  :smile2:
