LC shock alternative

[LC_BOTT]

Hi, think I might need a new shock, is there an alternative one that slots into the LC, see there's a few options for the PV, but just done a search, and there doesn't seem to be much for this bike??

Couple on fleabay, that look like they've been dredged up from somewhere, and one good'un making over £100 now.

I know the 125 one fits, but Norbo isn't showing any on his website anymore, I thought I'd seen someone mention a Tuono or Sachs fitted, but not sure how much modding they required.

Surely these old shocks can't last forever? most of them look like they weep a bit, and probably have very little damping left?

They are surprisingly tough rascals.
I'd guess that if they are not weeping they are likely still useable.
Unless spending large, there are few alternate choices.

an sv 650 socks slots straight in with a few spacers and it heightens the ride height and less of a saggy arse
