I have recently purchased a 1990 FJ 1200, very clean but no damping in the shock (scary). I would be interested in getting in on a Penske group buy. Sooner would be better. Has anyone tried a Works Performance shock before?

Yep, it's better than stock, not as nice as the Ohlins I have now....

There is this YSS shock as well. I know nothing about them but are around $500 USD delivered. Half the price of a Penske or Ohlins.

Really Pat,  :good:

I have looked about and best I saw them was in the $1100 USD range. So you are saying about $650?

I just want to remind/refresh that I am in the middle of design & engineering of a rear shock. I am scheduled to receive the mechanical engineering drawings and specs as early as tomorrow. I sent in both versions of the stock shocks for reverse engineering. We have been talking about it every week since the new year.
