Hello everyone I have yet to post around, been lurking here on and off since I got an NTV The problem is , my rear shock absorber is FUBAR (or so it seems) So when I got it I didn notice it was bad , the only thing thatś working as a suspension back there is the spring, no gas at all. So today I went to a garage to had it taken off and rebuilt... and it has been shortened or so the tech says.... What I can see is that is has been welded right next to the top mount ( Ill try and get some pictures tomorrow) So my options now are: - Get a secondhand one , though it seems hard to find one in decent condition
- Get an original one that costś an arm and a leg
- Or get a replacement
This kinda screwed my plans at having it repaired fairly cheap, so I'm feeling kinda down.
Any help would be most apreciated Best Regards Devvil |

The Betor on evilbay is at the same price as the one on their page, so it´s not worth it  Thanks for the help , I´m going to check on them now . Cheers |

Trying to cantact Otterparts, hopefully they understand english, waiting on an answer... It's not "they",it's just a one-man operation. The owner (Joost den Otter) will reply to mails in english & he will send to the UK. He does want to be paid before he ships,which can put people off. I've bought stuff with him in the past & he's never let me down (I don't know him, we just live in the same country with 15 million other folks). GvS |

GvS Sent in a query , he said we would look, I was impressed he wrote back so late  Hopefully he will ship to Portugal , there are other parts there that would make my ride better looking aswell.  Let´s hope monday he comes back with a positive answer . That´s a big risk :x I´ll tkae your word for it man |
