I have a 1994 VMAX 500 and can't seem to find a replacement shock for the center/front on the SKID, found the rear one no problem. Looking for after market as new is not available and if it was I assume would be way too expensive.
I did find this link http://www.vintagevmax.com/vvforum3/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1529 that references the shocks but can't make heads or tails out of it, cut and paste from link above is posted below. Anyone know?
