I've not had many problems with my 1200 (06) until the rear shock pissed oil all over the place, so guys what are my options for a replacement as the original is sealed and not serviceable -

Not listed in their applications but http://www.hagon-shocks.co.uk/HagShocksPr.htm might do a rebuild for you
some companies will service OEM shocks.
a search should reveal all, along with endless argument about best options.

I've got one on the shelf in the garage, if you want it. 75 quid plus postage. its an 07 with 12000 on the bike. bought it for a project but didnt use it.
What are your options?
As Cookie suggests, there are as many opinions on replacement shocks (and the serviceability of the OEM shock) as there are on tyres, tankbags, huggers and helmets.
It depends on what you want and how much you want to spend.
Start at the cheap end:
Get the original rebuilt (if possible) Ring around via a Google search. Try calling http://www.mctsuspension.com/about.htm who are very helpful, though they did write a friend's FireBlade off
Find a second hand shock, preferably low mileage, if you can trust the seller's word. You have paid your £12 try the FSW section, perhaps?
Fit a new OEM shock.
Fit a new third party shock. What sort? Anything from the top of the tree, Ohlins, to Wilbers, to Nitron, to whoever...... A search on UKGSer or Google will turn them all up.
