[QUOTE="dcumpian, post: 1406911, member: 91281"] I'm right under 8,000 miles. Admittedly, I'm bigger than average and I had the shock set for a firm setup. But the spring is too light for me + luggage, so I'm sure the shock just couldn't handle it. I ride fairly hard on country roads that are not smooth-as-glass, so while it might be a manufacturing defect, it may also just not be enough shock for me. Just found out the new Penske will be here on Monday so I'm going to take the old one out now. I'll get in touch with the dealer later and see if I can get an OEM replacement. I can always sell it on eBay to help offset the cost of the Penske. Dan [/QUOTE]
