These famously rebuildable shocks (I've done a pair back in 2022 for my R90S).

However, does anyone know where to get spares (specifically the rod seals or a seal kit) over the counter in the UK? Just sprung s leak on another bike and need to rebuild PDQ for a trip to France....

Any help gratefully received

Aren't Koni now Ikon?
 
Google Ikon shock absorbers

It’s been a while since I last saw them, but they did kits and were born from the closure of Koni

You are correct, thanks, but they are in Australia. I am looking for a UK importer/agent. And I have already popped a message in IKON's intray.

I have been doing this for some time and phoned a few companies that dealt with them in the past (and see Ikon message above).

I'm after an over-the-counter suggestion, in the UK, or maybe if someone has a spare seal kit in a drawer in their workshop.....
 
Have you asked around suspension places? DenzO on here, Rock Shocks may have same seals?



Too late.
 
Thank you all for your inputs. Update so far:

I am sorted, via a recommendation from the importers* who said they could order some (had no current stock) but they would come from Australia (I would time out for my trip). They gave me the name of a sports suspension independent and that proved fruitful. I hope to reveal their name in my next post but want to check if they want to be suppliers or remain rebuilders.

Could supply:

- Performance Parts RFT (as above)

- Ikon said they could supply a kit and send it to the UK for AUS$105 (again the time issue is at risk) about £56.

- Beemer Shop (Ted Porter) sent a nice reply from USA but said the price would be prohibitive (US$49 + $69 postage)

Couldn't supply:

- Norman Hyde (Motolegends)

- T-Tech Suspension

No response yet:

- TLM in Netherlands

- Stein-Dinse (Germany)

- Gutsibits

- Motorworks

* Performance Parts Ltd supplied me with stock back in 2022; they are in Daventry and were the importers then. Performance Parts RFT are current importer and are in Mytchett, Surrey.

Thanks for the update, very useful

👍
 
Took one shock apart today only to find the top adjuster seal was leaking, not the lower ones. So luckily I had the seal from the last rebuild I did. I'll finish the refurb once the seals arrive and then attack the other, non- leaking one (the fluid really needed changing in the one today so best to do both while I'm at it).
