I wouldn't be looking for a used OE shock, unless funding forces you down that route, if you do you should be looking to replace the spring, HyperPro will cost around �80 and will make a noticeable difference. But I'd be looking to use a non-OE shock assembly, HyperPro, Hagon - whatever you can afford will be better.

I'm sure DazzerRTW had his OE shock rebuilt by someone in Yorkshire... could be wrong though, might be worth a search. But it's still going to cost you, and the bike will be off the road for the duration.
