There are companies out the that do use the same shock, some have some minor differences, just as brand to brand will do. Arrnott comes to mind & charges 800.00 more for the kit. Cost for the DIY is 200.00+-50.00 depending on how you do your dump valve & air compressor. People have been doing this for years, this is not a new find. As for failing due to the eyelet breaking off, prove that was even on the bike when it broke, or not used on something else before it broke. Prove that it wasn't tampered with or a setup to have people stop doing it because someone doesn't think it is right. Good luck

Another is I hear the bike rides really nice and with a small compressor, some switched and a dump valve they are on the fly adjustable.

Also there are a few small mods to make regarding the shock eyes and bushings?? Plus as stated welding or beefing the existing welds up some.
