    The bike I'm buying has some rust on the rear spring so I will be looking for a cheap second hand one over the next few weeks. Anyone have anything please let me know. Not looking to spend a fortune as I will probably upgrade to something worthwhile when I've recouped some cash.

    I've got one you have have for the cost of postage by hermes which will be sub £10

    Its done about 45k I think and been to Spain, Germany, Switzerland, Italy Scotland and a few other places - still works from memory.

    When funds allow you should find a 2012 shock to replace it with, loads better

    I have 1 off of my 2010.
    It's done 9.5k miles.

    A quick clean and it'll be good to go.

    It would seem I now no longer require one. Purchased the 0 mile one.
