Been wanting more from the monarch rt3 currently on my 2015 mega tr and have stumbled upon an opportunity to buy a very well priced db inline 2nd hand. It looks in good condition and i've told it works perfectly fine as do all the adjustments. About a year old im told but used only for 6 months.

My questions are, can i somehow use the serial number to find out when it was manafactured?

What mount kit would i need for the shock?

Should i even bother as ive heard numerous reports on them being unreliable? Would i not just be better off fitting the debonair sleeve?
