I have found an original KONI (not ikon) shock for sale for $100.
Is it worth buying?
Still waiting to hear on the condition of it from the vendor.
hmmm... find out if you can get it serviced first. BTW IKON is the KONI replacement.
The problem was this:
a. was that model able to be recon, in my case yes,
b. who can do it, it is an old shock, and
c. most importantly, was the plunger shaft damaged (chrome worn out). This is problematic as the seal will not work.
