Given that their domain name seems to have been grabbed by a de facto
cybersquatter a while back, and in view of the age of the only
information I could find about the product, I'd expect the unit to be
a bit hard to find...but there was one being dumped on eBay for $30
with shipping. Something tells me this is a product that flopped.
As for their not being usable on aluminum bikes, this might have more
to do with the sometimes wild variations in rear triangle designs in
those bikes than it does with the inherent nature of the material. It
appears that the Shockster is largely aluminum, if the few photos and
the claimed weight of two pounds are any indication.
