He says he has a rear shock if you want to run it like that, WELL **** YEA I WANT to run it with a rear shock!! I like the bike and because they dont make em why not put a bunch on money in something you love? what else is life about, i mean we indulge in life's pleasures and pimp out our rides, Not my cup O tea but some one will buy it!! Not for that amount, but maybe $7500. If he holds on to it for 20 years it will be worth $20,000.
