After exploring numerous options yesterday, it appears Hyperpro of Holland will be manufacturing me a shock today and express delivering it to me for Monday delivery. I am told such a thing is almost unheard of so I am quite please to recieve this attention. For this I have Klaus, the Hyperpro rep back in the States and Jan at Hyperpro to thank.
Provided all goes according to plan, I will be leaving for Iceland as scheduled and not forced into skipping it. This is a huge relief to me.
As an alternate, the Great folks at BMW of Grand Rapids are standing ready to ship my original stock shock to me if needed.
If I haven't mentioned it already, Norway is a beautiful place to get stuck, but also one of the most expensive on the planet. Another week here and I could buy a new motorcycle:-)
I'm really quite fortunate to have some great folks standing behind me, thanks to all!
