Good ...bad....what do people say?

Fox shocks are American and fairly popular over there.
That one will need a rebuild for sure but it's possible you could run into trouble over here if it uses an odd spring or has components that aren't common with other brands. It's hard to find someone to work on WP shocks now and they were plentiful in the UK let alone a shock that isn't common.. If you like it though talk to some suspension refurb places and ask if they can rebuild it.
For the price (once imported) you could have a new Nitron.

I think you'd be paying too much £268 plus £100 minimum for rebuild, then shipping costs you could be looking at £4-500.

'revsracing@yahoo.co.uk' did my WP shock. Good service, quick turnaround and a good price.

Did it need a spring, the size isn't common and I was told you can't get springs for them.

I might try them if I get round to doing my WP, it works fine at the moment but the rebound adjuster just rotates and doesn't alter damping.

No, there was no need to change the spring but my rebound adjuster was seized. Works luverly now.

Malc, I have used revs racing a few times for suspension work, including servicing and changing the spring on an old WP shock. He also does all my mates flat track suspension conversions , and is doing his RD500 forks.. It's a very small set up, but he knows his stuff.

So its not worth it in the end...pff I guess I better save up to buy a local UK one popkat ill be in touch

I will have to see if "revs" can do anything for my WP shock. Will need major surgery.

I had WP on a race bike some years ago and these people were excellent;
