SubSailor Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 It's a bit premature, but a fellow is showing interest in buying my 2000 VFR800, but...he's not interested in buying the bike with the suspension goodies on it. If he contacts me he's good to go with the sale, then I'll be pulling off the parts and installing the OEM items. What I'd like to know if anyone would be interested in a Traxxion-Dynamics cartridge kit with 1.03 Kg/mm springs and a Penske 8983 rear shock (currently with 1300 Lb/inch spring)? The fork cartridge kit allow full range of adjustment (preload, compression, and rebound). The Penske 8983 shock I'm sure most people know what it's about. If he pulls the trigger on the bike, I'll be posting them in the classifieds eventually, but it would be nice to find a good home for them as I won't be needing them afterwards.

Member Contributer Rice Posted May 23, 2016 Member Contributer Share Posted May 23, 2016 You will certainly find the right home for them at the right price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wera803 Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Price would be the biggest thing for people. Also, I have a set of stock forks (and others may as well), that would trade you plus money for the complete forks on your bike instead of pulling the cartridge kit out. That makes it easier for everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keef Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Interested in the Penske, depending on price. I have one on my mt09, so one for the Vfr would be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer JZH Posted May 24, 2016 Member Contributer Share Posted May 24, 2016 Yes, the international vultures are circling! I am in need of a good rear shock, too, but I cower in fear of international shipping charges, customs handling fees and import duties...

SubSailor Posted May 27, 2016 Author Share Posted May 27, 2016 Sorry about taking so long to update the thread, but I was waiting on feedback from the potential buyer if he truly wanted the bike. Just a short while ago, I received a call that the buyer is indeed wanting the bike, so I'll be pulling off the shock and cartridge kit and installing the OEM internals. Now that the sale is in the works, I'm going to collect some photos of the items for those interested. Since this is in a general discussion thread, it may be best to post the goodies in the classifieds, or would you all prefer to keep this thread going? And thanks for your patience.

Member Contributer zupatun Posted May 29, 2016 Member Contributer Share Posted May 29, 2016 You might do a sealed bid...have everyone send you bid via PM. Gives the vultures a shot fairly, but you get true market price...just sayin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wera803 Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 Post it to the classifieds with a price per the board rules. If you want to make it a bidding war, put them on eBay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turns out the stock-shock is toast...or actually oatmeal. She could really the Penske...and a few other farkels. Happy to be riding again. Had a '98, and (2) '94s I the past. Love the breed. Can you help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Update, the AK-20 cartridge kit is SOLD. Penske 8983 shock SOLD. Well, the shock was bought yesterday. So no more suspension parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
