Rear shocks

[Bunny Burrell]

There are suspension places that can rebuild about anything, but they charge something like $200-$500 a shock, plus shipping both ways. I will likely end up just replacing them.

Shame I don’t live Stateside otherwise I’d have them off you.

Well, I don't do a lot of racing

Why not?

Why not?

I'm too old and I always ride double

I thought it was you that guided me on suspension upgrades? Race Tech the brand I don’t think they make race only shocks? Got those fancy cylinders, fully adjustable and all that. Oh well hope you get the ride you need. Call them and tell them what you want, for Comfort and doubling .

I'm jealous, Karen won't ride anymore. One of the reasons I sold the Rocket, that was the only one she'd ride.

I called a lot of shock rebuilders. They all said the same thing. If we could get parts from Progressive they could do it. However Progressive won't sell parts.

RS are both shocks leaking ? What is actually wrong with the shocks ? Can we find the parts laying around somewhere ?

The left shock is leaking. It was kind of a relief. When I saw the oil on the floor my first thought was diff. It didn't smell like diff oil, so then I thought front u-joint spline seal. Shocks are cheaper and easier than either one of those problems.
