REAR SHOCK FOR 1VJ
my bike is in for a final service before i set off on a trans-africa trip next weekend, and one thing that i need to replace is the rear shock. as the bike (an '88 1VJ) will be fairly loaded, i was thinking of using a heavy duty rear shock, but so far i have not had much luck in finding out what this might be and where i might get it.
i thought this was covered in chris scott's book, but upon closer inspection last night i see it isn't; i have found one place in london that can build me a rear shock for around £250, but this is for a 3AJ, so i am not sure if it is suitable for a 1VJ - are the dimensions the same? and is this a reasonable price? would the original yamaha part be good enough for a trip of this nature?
looking forward to hearing from y'all.
thanks
