Hello everyone i am new and wanted to ask a quick question. I just bought a 1999 specialized fsr enduro from a guy on ebay. He pretty much screwed me over, he said it only need a minor tune up and everything on the bike was pretty much toast. I changed most of the parts out with old stuff i had around here but the kicker is he left off the rear shock. I have done everything to get him to send the rear shock but he has not sent it to me even after promising he had mailed it out. My question is which shocks will fit my bike and where can i buy one cheap? I am low on money so i can deal with a used one as long as it will last me a season before i have to rebuild it. If you guys can give me any help i would really appreciate it. Oh the bike i have looks identical to this one color and everything

Hello Again
Incase anyone is interested and has the same style FSR as me then here are the specs Specialized gave me on the rear shock
They said the stock shock on my bike was a Rock Shox SID . It measured 6.25 from eye to eye and had a 1.5 stroke. The Tech guy also said if i had to i could use a shock that was between 6" to 6.5 eye to eye but it would affect the handling so he recomended to go back with the stock size.
