Rear Schock absorver

[Neomysis]

Hi,
I think my Maxim 400 need a new absorber. I have found some 12R-22210-01-00 online, but they are used or crazy expensive.
Do anybody know a good alternative to replace it?

Thanks in advance.

There are a few threads on the subject already.
Not a lot of known options but I'd search for "monoshock" on the forum. Barring that you might be taking measurements and trying to compare to other bikes.

A couple highlights:

Jeff may still have one of his stock monoshock available.

Out of curiosity, why do you only "think" you need a new one?

What year? I have an 83 and am replacing the factory mono shock with one from an R1. If interested in it let me know and can figure out a price. Hell I wont want much either.

is a 1983, but I want to get something new and probable with better technology.

Well cant help you there......like I said am going with an R1 shock but it requires modification to the frame to make it work......

I do not know of a bolt on fix..........

I used an R6 shock...make it way better as it is fully adjustable.

But it is not plug and play...I needed to weld an extension on the frame side...but it is well worth the work.

Sorry I said R1 and yes just like Jeff did an R6 they are only 50 bucks or less on ebay.......but there are mods that need to be done.
