I’ve been holding my tongue for days now, but I am sorry but i gotta say it…….

Frankly owning a 2002 KTM 520 is enough of a shock in itself, without hunting another one down.

there I said it,
Try Terry Haye at Shock treatment he’s the guru on PDS shocks and KTM suspension in general, will know where to source one for sure, and Coffs wreckers had a “good” (Actually there is no such thing as a good EXC, I s’pose it was cause it was dead, a dead KTM is a good KTM anyhow it was in relatively god condition compared to new) 02 380 EXC they were wrecking a while back, same shock I believe, pretty shocking really.

I am hearing you on the tongue holding Mr Blue :blink: , I thought it maybe the opportunity to graft some linkages onto it and make it handle , but as per my previous post I tried to help first .

i passed some numbers on but i’m not his mum, he’s now on his own.

Now he is on his own and you are no longer looking for a shock, that will give you more time to come for a ride. Seeing as you are at Lorne that makes you part of the North coast chapter of the OLD Bulls. Half the time, us Wauchope boys are riding in your “back yard”.
