Monster MK-1 suspension upgrade

Hey there!

Her is a story: few months ago I decided to upgrade my rear suspensions' shock absorber from standard S2R1000 (only rebound adjustment to compression and rebound adjustment) . Unfortunately I made a mistake and bought SACHS shock absorber from Monster S4. I rebuilt and upgraded it completely:
1.the seal head is upgraded from steal to aluminium (7075);
2.the main seal and dust scrapper is upgraded to more universal size (it means You can find it in any hydraulic shop);
3."piggy bag" reservuar is upgraded from steal to aluminium (7075) and anodised;
4.Fresh oil inside, orings and proper gas pressure.

So the thing is I can't use this on my bike because I have mono swing arm and it makes contact with the "piggy bag". All upgrades are developed by #shokstherepy can find them on Instagram!

150 punds+ shipping

It will fit for all MK-1 monsters with "double " rear swing arm. For example 600, 620, 1000, s4, i think m900 to. Originally it came from s4 model, with standart 70kg/cm spring.

For what it's worth, a quick check of my old Öhlins catalogue shows their dedicated shock for the S4 (DU046), which also has a piggy-back reservoir, is listed as also fitting the 620, 695, 750, 800, 900 and 1000.

...apart from the bogus 'Ohlins' sticker

will only fit most ie type monsters and s4 with 'tie-rod' linkage, nothing with 'hoop' suspension linkage (different fitting) or s*r (unless you modify rear sub-frame for clearance)!
