    Greetings gents. Just picked up a new to me 2018 Tiger 800 XCX. Beyond stoked as my first ADV bike. Lots of dirt/street up until now. The rear shock is pretty much dead. Preload/rebound adjustments don’t change anything in the mushiness or feel of the rear end. Anyone offer up suggestions on replacement or a reputable suspension rebuilding shop here in the States? Thanks

    @PNW Rooster Welcome to the family. Nice bike and good intro. Hagon i believe they also have outlets in the States. They build a shock to your requirements

    I love the Nitron shock on my 800XC which is as good as new after over 70000 miles.
