[Mgs] Rear shock absorber

[Robert's New iPad]

Hans,
   In USA, I would recommend rebuilt/refurbished one, from World Wide, as it will be at least as it was when new and probably as good or better than a new one made today.
  I do not know of rebuilders in the Netherlands or EU, though there must be some. 
Bob

Which is why I went back to lever-arms) replaced as a pair, in my experience the lever-arms give consistent damping - while the oil lasts.
