I have no idea on the line question, but I'd bet 95% of my money NYNOAH is right, I've never seen him be wrong.

That said, I'd say maybe there's a 5% chance it could be a HAGON ?????

There is a guy who is replacing his Fox Shock with his rebuilt WP shock on his FZR400. He lives in St. Louis and I asked him to send a photo or check this thread to help us out.

I think he's using the WP because it was recently rebuilt. You'll probably need to do that to yours soon.

To have someone rebuild it costs anywhere from $200+...

Not sure how happy that makes you. WOOT

Fox quit making them because the competition was getting much better reviews, so WP is probably better off the shelf.

However, irregardless of the shock, if your spring doesn't match your weight range, then you'll have a harder time getting it to work for you.

I figured as much. when i rebuild it (or get a rebuild) i'll have them give me a spring for my weight range.

oh, and regardless what it is, it will be much better than our shitty stock shock.

If it's a word to Merriam-Webster, then that's good enough for me, irregardless, if you think it is or not.
