I'm not sure, but i would be carefull for copies.. if you have the $$ for the ohlins buy that one, you'll never regret it, and its money well spend!

The ME 302-395 TL is one of the shocks that I have built for the Big Ruckus.
Another one is the MC 302-395 TL. It is the same shock with the same
adjustments, but it has a reservoir which separates the gas from the oil.
When riding hard, the MC will give you the better performance.
The price for the ME 302-395 TL is $ 254.00
The MC 302-395 TL is $ 294.00
S&H for either one is $ 16.00

It's probably a good idea to establish a contact and get the correct spring installed for your weight.

if ride 1up 90 % of the time, and occassionally my wife will go 2up, will i bottom out if i get a spring meant for 1 person weighing 145?
Pretty sure I am going to pony up for the Ohlins. Grom is going to be in my garage for many many years so I want quality parts on it.

YSS are quality shocks and can perform with the best. Ohlins has the best reputation so they can charge more than they are worth.

The shock I got from kingofsoap is a legitimate YSS shock. I dont have the model number in front of me but it is differnt than the one that Tyga has on their site. The Tyga one is the top-of-the-line YSS with more adjustment features than than mine. That is why there is a differnce ini price. We are getting price gouged for Grom parts. If you look around, you will find that you can get a pair of YSS shocks for a Monkey for the same price as a single Grom shock.

I got the same YSS shock as Shifter, from the same guy. Indeed, it is a legit YSS shock. My issue with the seller was the painfully long shipping times. I see some pushback on Tyga, but I think Paul's prices are fair and shipping is fair. The quality of Tyga stuff is outstanding. It's coming from Thailand, halfway around the world, in 3-4 days. That's worth it to me. This ebay guy is charging quite a bit for parts and charges UPS rates to ship it on the slow boat to the US.

I paid $179 for that YSS shock. That's correct, right SS? I'd have paid that in the states, no problem. Until we get a steady supply chain in the US. I guess you have to pay to play. :wink:

I agree with all of this. I also endorse Tyga.
