I picked the bike up from Sun Honda today. I had had them replace fork seals and fluid as well as the shock absorber. The "bite" was $797.
They charged me $300 for the shock, which was $280 less than Honda's list price for the part.
I wish Honda had paid for it, but I'm not upset about paying for it myself. I tend to agree that by 97,000 miles, most shocks are going to need replacing, so I can just shrug my shoulders about it being called a wear item.
It sure felt different coming home than it had the last time I was riding on I-25.
