- September 29, 2018, 21:19:48 PMUpdate: I called a couple of dealers and found one parts guy who was interested in getting to the source of this backorder issue. He called Kawasaki. The story is that Kawasaki will sell the shock but only as a special order. So I went ahead and ordered one through Mr Helpful Parts Guy. I'll let you know in 3 weeks whether or not it arrives. I'm hopeful!

- September 26, 2018, 15:21:48 PMThere are some listed on ebay right now. I have heard folks have used VN800 (classic) monoshock after a little filing to make it fit.

- September 26, 2018, 13:16:16 PMUpdate...not good news!
Whether OEM or aftermarket (Provressive), the shock is on worldwide backorder with no estimated release date.
Anyone have a used but useable 800 monoshock they'd like to sell?

- September 19, 2018, 12:42:54 PMIt's time to replace the rear shock on Princess, my 800 that's lowered 2". My question is...does anyone know the OEM's spring rate? Progressive's 465 is 400/450. I'd like to compare before purchasing as I'm not looking for a stiffer/heavier rating. My 110 lbs. of rider was happy with whatever the OEM had.
