Shock rebuild

Post by rex »

Shocks started leaking slightly. No way can I afford £500 for a decent one, so does anyone know if, a) the standard shock can be rebuilt? b) who's good? c) how much?!

Cheers. :wink:

Where abouts in the country are you?

The general view is that the shock is not rebuildable

BUT

I've used a guy in Halesowen (west of Brum) who can re-oil and re-pressurise standard supposedly non-rebuildable shocks as well as re-springing etc
Transformed the 3 bikes I've ridden that had it done (ZZR600, VFR750 and thundercat)
Give him a call, Johns his name, and he'll be more than happy to chat to you and give you a price etc (think the last one was approx £90 for respring and re-oil/pressurise)

Go half way down the page and these guys rebuild and re spring shocks for a fraction of the cost of a new one.

The mystery of the CCT. Some reckon that the CCT for the Storm has been updated, but there isn't really any proof of it!

PM Del and enquire about his ever lasting non breaking completely modded CCT's.
