I'm glad you are happy with it. I don't honestly know why the FZ1 lot bother replacing it, but as long as they are it's a cheap source for us.

Since the fz1 shock Bolts right in, would aftermarket fz1 shocks work as well?
And if i purchase a fz1 shock what years will fit right in, or do all of them?
And if i purchase one off ebay what are the best brands of springs to put on, i would hope to do this before install...
Thanks much for any help!

Question 1: Yes, and I wouldn't be surprised if they all had the same part number.
Question 2: Gen 2 FZ1 which I believe is 06 and onwards.
Question 3: I bought a Hagon shock (UK manufacturer) off ebay to replace the shock in my last bike that had turned to mush. I couldn't fault it and the build quality was awesome. For an extra 75 pounds you can customise the shock too. I'm not sure if FZ1 shocks are rebuildable but if they are not this is what I will replace it with when it wears out.
