Hi guys. I own a 1992 aprilia climber 280R. The rear shock has gone and is bouncing around, making it hard to drive.

Anyone know where to get a replacement part?

Cheers

Nathan

Falcon can rebuild it for you. However after checking on the rebuild price, initially i modified a 303 (I think) fantic shock (roughly the correct length) to fit then eventually found a secondhand climber shock on ebay.....
With regard to the forks, I fitted a set of conventional fantic 303 forks and yokes which made a big difference over the original USD - made a spacer to fit the smaller spindle size and fitted the original front wheel.

I had a Beta shock rebuilt by Falcon once, did a good job and was still perfoming well when I sold it a couple of years later.
