What Shock Is This?

I was watching this go a week or so ago. After much thought I came to the conclusion this looks very much like a CBR900 rear shock?

Can anyone confirm or have any ideas as to what this shock is etc?

Just interested as if it was a HRC shock then that was quite cheap if not a total rip off!

lloydspencer,

I don't see any reason to buy used shock from Japan. Ever this is HRC shock it will be so old compare newer shock. You've Maxton, Hagon, Penske, Ohlins etc. Just found similiar dimmensions with NC29 shock, change spring depend your weight and you will be get perfect balancing and handling.

So is the general consensus that this was a CBR900 shock?
