I am a long time owner of a K1200LT which has always had the dead shock bottom out problem since I bought it 10 years ago. Its been reliable and if it wasn't so stupidly expensive, I would replace the shocks and or springs. But the parts cost almost as much as the bike is worth... I love them but I see people getting rid of them for 2500.00. I can't sell mine for 3500 or 3000 so I wonder who if anyone actually buys these 900 Ohlin Shocks, the expensive HYPER pro springs and then pays 500 to 800 to have them installed? It would be nice to be able to replace a part without exceeding the cost of what still is, a pretty reliable bike.
Is there an alternative? Bottom out, part it out or give it away? I don't see how they can sell enough of those expensive parts to even make any sense of them making them, much less me buying them...
what say ye?
