Would anyone tell where I can buy a Best-Buy rear shock to replace the stock shock of GS1150?
Hagon of UK?
Bitubo of Italy?
Any more suggestion?

If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.
I don't know about the best buy but Wilbers (Germany) is also one very good option. I think their quality is on the same level with Ohlins but prices are more reasonable. http://www.wilbers.de/2008/englisch/html/motorraeder.htm

Hagon are a good compromise between quality & price :-D you wont get much better damping from shocks at twice the price or more, just more things to fiddle with which equals more ways to screw it up :?
hagon will build you a shock to match you weight & the way you ride for a little more cash then their stock replacement shock which is a good deal if you are a bit of a porker or real skinny like me

I could find the part no. of the relpacement shock for GS1150 from Bitubo (S0019-XZE01) and Hagon (M63087), the price at Hong Kong dealer is that bitubo is HK$5,200 (=US$666) and Hagonis HK3,000 (=US$385)
I can not find the no. for Progressive and other.
Could you tell me the other part no. and where I can but on-line?

I am going to try and fit a Hayabusa shock on my 1150 next week.
The bad...
1) The "reservoir" will only fit if the air box is removed, which is not a problem seeing as I have pods.
2) The bottom mount is different than the stock 1150 one. Lucky for me a good friend of mine welds aluminum for a living and I have the busa mount/bearing that we will try to graft on to the shock body.
The good...
1) I bought the new shock for $75 shipped to my door. You may be surprised how many wrecked Hayabusas are out there.
2) The new shock is fully adjustable.
3) Can't be any worse than the Yamaha unit I Macgyvered in there last year.
4) Same length eye to eye as stock.
I'll follow up on this thread once done if there's any interest.

That comment was sort of tongue in cheek....as I'm sure you've guessed.
