Had mine rebuilt for £85 plus P&P, Firefox racing did it, they have a listing on Ebay.
Better than it was, but i`m going for aftermarket on my new project Steamer.

and Wilbers will build a shock for any bike.car.  They have optional damping, as well as remote preload, adjustments.   My Tiger is still stock but I have a Wilbers on my Transalp and love it.

But im going for a Ohlins rear shock, they can build a entry level shock for 500 Euro,its a emulsion damper with rebound adjuster.

I had my rear shock on my Buell rebuilt by Race Tech in Corona CA.  They did a great job.

its an easy fix if ya jus take it slow and if you need to take piccies. there is a company that has all the seals. cant remember if it off hand and the recipt is in england so i cant tell ya, sorry mate.
if i remember right its a kayaba shock but the showa shock rebuild thread works for it too.

think it was this place. http://www.moto-pro.com/Browse_Category ... BUILDPARTS just measure ya shock shaft and order away. if i remeber right its 14mm

I know Sasquatch does rebuilds, but it would be nice to not take my bike out of commission during the riding season.  Maybe I will have to wait until the fall and take it apart.  That Wilbers shock is pretty nice though.
