    after only 2500 miles and at first mot rear shock does not damp on my 2015 street. Any recommendations for a replacement off the shelf? - having trouble finding one. Ok for earlier versions but not mine at a sensible price

    Hagon or Nitron? Both pretty good, Hagon will be cheaper.

    Rebuild could also be a good idea, and cheaper! But the downside could be that you still have the original shock which can be a bit 'iffy' on some bikes.

    Others will no doubt have different recommendations.

    Just as other said

    15 Street Triple shocks are good for road riding. If you can't find a decent std second hand then you could try someone reputable like MCT to rebuild it for you with correct spring and oil and tweaked for your weight.

    If you are planning to do track days then an aftermarket like Nitron would be the ideal way to go forward ;)

    All the best buddy:)
