Would you be willing to ship it out to Croatia? I could be persuaded to take it off your hands :)

BTW, isn't #500 too stiff for 12st rider? What weight specifically did you have it set up for (rider+gear)?

#500 is about right for 12-14 stone including gear. Remember these shocks actually have decent rebound damping matched to the spring so they're not like the stock shocks that would kick your *rse about at that.

Huh, so given that I'm weighing 88kg naked right now, would this be too soft for me?

I have a ZZR1400 shock lying around, I was under impression that it would be way too hard for my weight? According to the 'net it has a 543lb spring?

Let me get a price on postage if you're serious.

Well in how penske do things that would be at least 1 spring rate up from what your ideal would be.

There are a lot of things at play, the spring rate becomes more a personal preference/tuning thing with good shocks when the length can be set properly because the anti-squat is correct, and the compression damping is controlled. Rather than the short OEM stuff which ends up relying on spring to do all work
