Cheers, thought that might be the case but worth a try. Have been looking on eBay but most have fairly big dents. I'll have a look on partfnder 👍🏻

Has anyone had any difficulty fitting a Nitron road shock?Some great replies by Gnasher and b1k3rdude, they are very good shocks.
As Gnasher implies if buying second hand I would personally factor in the costs of sending the shock to Nitron and getting it serviced and resprung / revalved for your weight and riding style, or at least bare this in mind as something that you will need to do to get the best out of the shock and the bike. Nitron's service team tend to be quiet at this time of year so you may get a discount on servicing if you call them and ask for prices.
Fitting is straightforward and I couldn't add anything to what b1k3rdude has said, I use a chock for taking the weight of the rear when dissasembling the linkage as sometimes you might want to go up or down a couple of mm and a chock helps with this. I recall the top mounting bolt for the shock can be tricky to get to and I had to use a universal joint on my socket set but I don't have an extensive tool kit so other methods may work.
Obviously if you have any specific questions then post back.
Sort the suspension (R6 shock and fork overhaul), fit a manual cam chain tensioner for peace of mind and keep riding.
