|[https://www.jrishocks.com/shop/powersports/double-adjustable/ JRI Double-Adjustable Shocks] per [http://electricmotorcycleforum.com/boards/index.php?topic=6936 2014 SR shock absorber replacement by Doug S] with Harlan's help.
|-
| Yes (with machining)
|Wotefusi [https://www.amazon.com/Wotefusi-Motorcycle-Absorber-Replacement-Universal/dp/B01A8HWKNE/ref=sr_1_16?ie=UTF8&qid=1516726305&sr=8-16&keywords=260mm+shock] 260mm Central Air Shock Absorber Universal Fit - fits when mounted upside down. Need to cut/grind down the bushing.

|TDPRO 260mm 10.2 [https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M0DE754/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1] Almost fits; the area on top of the spring is just slightly too large. You can take a grinder and shave away some of the top to make it fit. [http://electricmotorcycleforum.com/boards/index.php?topic=7753.0]
|-
| NO
| The Yamaha R3 has the same length rear shock, but the spring is too wide.
|-
| NO
|Fastace Rear Shock BDA-51AR/58-AR has a weaker spring, and is rotated 90 degrees. [https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01B3Q2O8A/]
|-
| Mixed results - new orders may have all the kinks worked out.
| IKON 3610-ZERO-S Shock Absorber [https://www.ikonshocksusa.com/products/3610-zero-s-shock-absorber?variant=28622432206908] - The spring is too wide at the top, and to be installed, the sping must be compressed. When Installation is complete, the spring is always compressed by at least a couple centimeters.
|-
| Mixed results - Get dimensions from Wilber's dealer before ordering - theirs is ~279mm
| Wilbers Shock absorber Type 640 Road Part. No.: 640-1143-00 [https://www.wilbers-shop.de/en/Motorcycle/Zero-Motorcycles/Zero-S-Z1-M5/Shock-absorber-Type-640-Road.html?year=2014] Wilbers claims the shock fits "2011-2013 S M5" (which does not exist). The M5 designation is buried in the VIN of the 2014 S; and may or may not be relevant. This shock could be mislabeled for the DS. Make sure to get full dimensions before ordering.
|-
| Yes - DO NOT BUY
| ZXTDR Rear Shock Absorber Suspension Sensa-Trac Load Adjusting for Dirt Pit Bike Motorcycle 1200LBS. [https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B074J3X2P5/] This shock phyisically fits, but underperforms. It feels like you're riding on a trampoline. You get what you pay for.
