snapped rear shocker

[teknoterd]

hi
well im extremly peeved, 2 weeks ago i snapped the top part of my shocker on my 00 xr200 completly off, and i went into my local honda dealership to order a new one and they want $ 850 for a new one, im in australia, so i think for u guys in US it would be like 400-450 bucks, so im extremly annoyed, i dont have that kinda cash, and there is no way around buying another shocker, my spring is still in good condition. so i have decided im going to go to the motorcycle wreckers and rip the rar shocker out of their latest modle 200 and bolt that up, but before i do that does anybody have any usefull ideas for me. since i dont have 850 bucks to waste on a new shocker, any suggestions, also, are there any other bike shocks that will fit, CR, XR 250 etc.
thanks

shane

G'day Tekno,
wreckers would probably be your best bet, dont know about a later model shock, might create more problems, valving etc, could be way out.

Sorry Big Guy,
A new Rear Shocx is going to cost...........That's all there is too it..........Your best bet is shopping around for wrecks and then checking re-builds............Other-wise if you buy new you will be out at least $800.00......PK
