I have a 1986 GS550ES with a replacement WORKS shock. Minor oil leak at reservoir. Is there a good alternative? Thanks.

If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.
If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Looks like mono shock off SV650 is same length. Anyone tried one?
Fix the leak, or send it to someone that can. Work's makes quality products.

Yeah, you've got a great replacement for what I believe is considered an undersprung stock unit.
Get it rebuilt and enjoy.

I know - that's good advice - but I'd still like to know what else fits. Thanks

Ed - thanks. Searches yielded some reference to GSXR shocks but when you go to sights like WORKS you see that GSXR shocks are all diff lengthe depending on engine size.
The WORKS sight shows my shock as 13" eye to eye - same as SV650. I'd actually prefer a non reservoir shock - this will be an occasional rider showpiece kinda bike. I'll try a cheap take off SV shock and report back.
