Hey folks, I’m sending my hagon for a refurb soon. As per the title, anyone have an old rear shock that would fit my 2007 1200 gs? I’m hoping to send it off start of September when I’m off on my hols. Just want to leave the bike stable. Don’t need to ride it. Don’t have a garage...

Owen.

I have a good YSS shock from my last 2007 GSA.......my latest 2007 GSA has Wilbers so I didn't bother fitting the YSS.

If we're told it will fit........you can borrow it.

Like the said, I’ll not be using it, it’s just to hold the bike up.

I think the gsa shock is two cm longer than my current one so the side stand will be my only option as the center stand will not work. Does anyone know if I’ll be able to fit it into my bike? Might take a look in the 1200 section...
