Can you explain what good feels like. I'm a pretty big guy, My 200x sits kinda low to begin with... when my big ole but sits on it it hardly goes down if any at all. If I grab the pushbar and lift it comes up about an inch before the rear tires leave the groung. Is this normal?

that could be because your missing a bushing...did * install the rear shock or have * tampered with it? because if you look at where it mounts at the top, there should be a bushing in the top hole in the shock, it can come out of the shock. if your missing this it will allow some play in the suspension. this happened to me when i was swapping out rear shocks i droped the bushing when i wasnt paying attention.

I was about to say the same thing. Where are you getting a shock rebuilt for $50.00 Thats about a 1/3 of the price i've been able to find. I think you must be getting recharging and the rebuilding price mixed up. If you can find someone who will rebuild them for that price you need to share it with the board.

a friend of mine told me a recharge was 10 bucks and i swear the shop said it was like 50 bucks to rebuild a shock..ill have to look into it to make sure...i could be wrong i guess..

He works for Bell Tire, his name is Lantz Hemphill. He sold his R and regrets it big time, if you find one anywhere near you let me know, he is looking for another.

Just an update. The seller (bottomofthepile) has agreed to let me return the blown shock I purchased from them on Ebay.

They are refunding the full amount with shipping and even return shipping. I wanted to post this to let everyone know that there are still honest sellers on Ebay and that they are one of them. Great communication and easy to deal with.
