I'm looking for a clean, complete rear shock assembly from a newer (the newer the better) Suzuki DR200, in excellent condition with no damage. I've looked on Ebay and Craigslist, called and emailed various salvage yards, posted on other forums, etc. Haven't been able to find anything...except a brand new aftermarket unit for ~$500. If you have one or know someone who does, please let me know, thanks.

Looks like I'm gonna have to bite off my own hand and shell out ~$500 for a new Works Performance Products, custom built rear shock... NO ONE has a damn shock for my bike... It's torturous to go on Ebay and see nice, clean, late model used shocks from other bikes going for fifty to a hundred dollars.

I think just like a few people have done for their TW's you might see if you can find a shock off another bike with a few mods that you could fit.$500 is way too much if you can finagle something else.

Yea I've looked all over the interenet. I can't find any other shock that will work, and I don't want to mess with the geometry of the bike or potentially compromise safety, or change the ride height or anything like that. Also it's kind of time-sensitive. The bike has already been sitting unused (except for riding it around the yard for a few minutes like twice a month trying to keep it fresh...) for about six months.

There are a couple of dozen on eBay at cheap prices.
