Front Shock
I've had my 2002 R1150R since April of this year, rides great, but while cleaning, I noticed a leak coming from the front shock, an Ohlin. I've been looking at replacements and holy cow! Tell me it's not true. What will I find if I go back to a stock shock? I don't notice any ill effects now with the leaky Ohlin, but I'm sure I probably will eventually. If people say, sorry bite the bullet and spend $1000+ dollars to repair, it's adios for me. I'll go back to a cruiser. Will a stock shock do the job?

Re: Front Shock
Our side of the pond it's about $150-200 for a Ohlins rebuild....no brainer for me.

Re: Front Shock
Just a follow up question, has no one put stock shocks back on?
Re: Front Shock
Update, I bought a "stock" front shock on eBay, and put it on the other day. Once I figured out where all the screws were it was pretty easy. Anyway the bike rides like a dream once again. Im loving it!!
