My first mono-shock was created by Schu

Well I now own my first mono-shock. It’s a DT175E and it’s my nicest unrestored original. It has 3,500 miles on it and the only real issue is a broken tachometer. Unfortunately someone cracked it open and attempted to repair it. I mean they literally broke the bottom off the housing with what must have been a hammer! And they did not fix it. So you will notice in the photos that I have mocked up a housing to mount in its place for aesthetic purposes as I search for a replacement. Other than that, it’s a clean machine. Yes it has top end noise just like my five other 175s. I paid more for this one than I did for each of the other five 175s. But if you average out what I paid for all six of them it comes out to only $1,016 each. I always find a way to feel good about a new purchase.
