won a used rear shock!!

[b4cruz]

just received my shock
but before I mod my bike with it
was wondering if anyone new of places/shops (in So cal)
that would check the shock for proper nitro charge and operation
for cheap or better free.

Unless there is a way I can borrow tools from a parts store and
test it myself.  Its off a 2005 GSXR and it only has minor scratches.

I'm slow at stuff like this so it'll take me months to get all the extra washers and little metal peices to finish the mod.  Plus I have another bike I gotta tune up too.

I can almost guarantee that a new(er, ish) shock will still be OK as far as nitrogen is concerned.

Unless someone who owned it before was the stoppie ninja, it should be OK. Also, most shops send shocks out to be serviced  (more time). I would go ahead and go through the BS of mounting it. Simply hopping up and down on it whil manipulating the settings should be enough to test it's function.

If it doesn't work, at least the hard part was done.
