Hi Tonio,
There should be a few around for £50-70, but remember it will need servicing, re-springing and setting up before you get any benefit from buying it.
I paid £90 for my NCR shock and it's miles better than either the Sachs or the Showa, so my advice would be to hold out for a decent shock off fleabay.
I wouldn't suggest trying to get it sorted for Cadwell. Once you get it it'll need setting up which will take a few track sessions. Not a good idea unless you've got a track day before the race.
Cheers,

One of the 2 I can have has been "refurbished" (in French we say 'reconditionne') but I'm not sure it was in the purpose to be used on track. Will it be ok for me? Your advice are wise, I shouldn't buy one in a hurry. But one of the 2 I've found (still waiting for the price) is sold by a friend of mine in France, so it may be a good bargain...

must point out the 900SSie shock is slightly longer than the earlier 900SS (carb) shock.
I have a Hagon shock meant for a 900SSie in my 583cc 600SS, it lits the rear a bit giving a steeper rake angle and therefore a bit quicker steering as well as increased ground clearance. It also puts a bit more weight on the front wheel which is how I like my bikes. |
That's a good news... I find the 620 too high for me, so looking for a rear shock designed for a carbs SS may help me solving my problem...
Cheers mates.
