Leaking Shock on a RK
I've only had my 2000 RK for a month now and I come home from a labor day camping trip and opened the garage door only to find a puddle of fluid on the rh side of the rear wheel. I'm guessing the shock leaked out (Pretty good puddle). Is there a fix for it or do I have to replace the shocks? Bike only has 9500 miles. If I have to replace do I go back with HD shocks or is there a recommendation?

First make sure the shock is leaking. The fitting on the top of the shock could be a bit loose, and the pressure will force a little oil out. Try tightening the fitting first.
Did you tip or drop the bike recently?
If you did, some oil could have seeped out, and pooled in the boot of the shock.
If that doesn't do it. and if the shock is defective, it's very easy to replace it yourself.
Around here, or on Ebay, you can get a pair of replacement shocks for 75-100.00 for the pair.
