Nitron rear shock

#1 Post by boris » Wed Oct 08, 2014 7:54 pm

I am looking for a rear shock for my RZ and found a Nitron rear for sale. I searched ebay and found them to be in the 600 - 800$ range. This guy has two for $550 each, but must take both. Is this a good deal considering you have to take both, or at this price is something fishy?
I take it these are good shocks?

Don't know what model you're looking at but they do build nice dampers.
I say, if you have the spare cash go for it.
Fit one and sell the other.

I would say they need to be pretty nice condition for that money, I paid £200.00 for this one which was 6 months old & nearly mint condition.

O that's cheered me up, I thought I'd paid a lot for a second hand shock, almost didn't bid.
