i had the same thing mate but got a new honda rs shock 1995 -09 on have sent it to maxton for respring and all in will be £180 which for a brand new shock set to my weight is a bargain in my book.the only thing is its a piggy back shock so you cant use it with the standard battery tray but thats long gone on mine so not a problem
