New Kind KS A5-RR1 Dual shock for Sofrider V2 ?

[jbruns8234]

I can buy a new Kind A5 RR1 dual chamber 125 mm on ebay for $75. I have a 2011 Sofrider V2. Will this fit and is that a good deal ?

Measure the stock eye to eye distance, the width of the eye, the eye hole/bolt hole diameter, and compare the stock shock/mounting bracket measurements
to the replacement shock. If the measurements match, then your new shock will fit.

And if you buy it, report back here with your experiences, please.

I replaced the original coil spring shock on my 451 Quest about a year ago with a Kind AR5 (single chamber) air shock. The old shock squeaked continuously; this one is silent. It also rides a bit better and weighs about 1/4th as much. (I weigh 225) It holds air well, I check the pressure about every 3 months and it requires minimal refilling. It's been a very positive upgrade.
