[QUOTE="hppants, post: 1412796, member: 27852"] Update - 2/2/19 First, I emailed Yamaha Customer Service and learned that the only reason the OEM shock part number has changed is because they have changed supplier for the manufacturer of the part. Otherwise, and more importantly technically, the shock is exactly the same. Secondly, I've purchased a shock from Hagon over on the other end of the pond. They will spring it to start at my rider weight on the low end of the adjustment, and I will be able to add about 160 pounds (or whatever the KG equivalent is) on the high end of the hydraulic adjustment, which should cover my range of load expectations. It has compression and rebound adjustment (both accessible from the bottom of the shock. Comes with a 2 year guarantee and it is rebuildable. Cost converted from Pounds Sterling comes to $530.00 shipped to my house. It will take a week for them to build it, and another week for them to ship it to me via UPS. Incidentally, I discovered that one of my credit cards has zero currency conversion fees. It's a bit of a risk, as I have not yet met anyone in the States that has this shock on their FJR. But apparently Hagon is huge overseas and are highly regarded as a reputable company. We'll see how it goes and report back. [/QUOTE]
