you can get them rebuit for a little over £100 +postage ABE or Firefox racing come to mind, but I would be surprised if there is noone in Ireland offering the service

firefox racing rebuilt mine over the winter took about 3 weeks turn around IIRC

 

[dellbert]

not quite sure where its leaking from
certainly getting very spongy though
and there is dirty fluid under the shock on the swingarm

shock!

I'm going through the same dilemma at the moment. I took it to a place that said they could do it and guess what, I ended up fetching it back. I bought one off ebay the other day that said it had only done 17,800mls... it was the same as mine at 76,000, fecked! (thankfully I can get a refund) I'm now thinking of biting the bullet and going for the Hyperpro street box set. Now, what can I sell next...

Posted mine to ABE and it was a great job. Cheaper than two return journeys, time and inconvenience to take it somewhere myself.

They drill a hole in the case to release any gas pressure. Then it's a straight forward strip and rebuild. A gas valve goes into the drilled hole.

well lads decided to take out the shock and just see if there was anything on it numbers or
such
and as i never really looked at it or paid it too much heed
i got a wee shock myself
its a wilburs and so is easily rebuild-able and once i cleaned it
nice and shiny so i should be able to get it done local
thanks for all the help
