Hi need some advice can the standard shock for a steamer 1992 be rebuilt if so how much and where can I send it. Lastly as any member got a spare one for sale?
Thx for looking
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.
check out sasquatch.
he's on the wrong side of the pond for sasquatch
Is there anyone that still makes an aftermarket shock for the Steamers?

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.
I'm saving my pennies for one of these:

But they do cheaper options:

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.
Thanks for all who posted and there is only one option and thats to try to rebuild myself lol will let you know how I get on.

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 (http://www.moto-pro.com/Browse_Category.asp?strBrowse=SHOCKREBUILDPARTS) 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.
