Thanks i have been checking yahoo without much luck so far. I will have to keep looking.
Unless this "spare" one might become available in the future. (feel free to pm me if one comes up).
It took me best part of 3 years to get my two. One for the MC16 and my MC21 one.
The MC16 one looks like it was dragged out of Tokyo Bay, but when they come up you just have to grab them!! Still need an MC18 shock! _________________ Andy.

There is a possibility that the "fork" bottom on an NF5 shock could be swapped for the NSR SP's "eye" type bottom. Naturally the shock will need to refilled/re-gassed after, but I'd imagine you'd want it rebuilt before using anyway.
You'll have to ask someone nicely how long an NF5 shock is and compare that to the length of the MC21 shock, but it's something I've thought about for some time now. NF5 shocks seem to go for very reasonable money, and if it does work, "converting" them NSR spec could be the way to go!
This one's £75, and even if you spent £150 on it having it modified, rebuilt and re-sprung, that's still a cheap HRC shock! _________________ Andy.

I want to raise the rear up as i like the way bikes handle with it slightly higher. I also don't really want to lower the forks as i am quite tall (6ft2)and want to keep the front ride height.

If its ride height adjustment you are looking for, you can also consider a RS125 shock. It'll need a revalve and respring, but now and then a cheap 2nd hand one pops up (like for £40!!) _________________ Rich
