Ohlins shock rebuild?

[Devon]

Anyone recommend a decent outfit to service/rebuild the Ohlins on my R100GS? The shock does it's job at the moment but has a bit of corrosion. Would the shock be refurbished to 'as new' with corroded parts replaced and can anyone give a pointer on what I can expect to pay?

Thank's bernardofeio.

These guys have quoted £72 + VAT and parts required. They will service the White power off my R80 also.

White Power

They did my WP unit last year Devon (full service and new parts) although after quoting a similar price, it ended up being £120 ish posted back to Derbyshire.

I delivered it at that as well

I finally got round to sending the Ohlins off to these guys a couple of weeks back and the the shock was returned earlier this week.

The bill breaks down as:

Service £72
New hose £37.27
Bump rubber £5.27
x-ring £1.22
Scraper £4.61
P&P £8.95

Plus the VAT and the price was £151.95 The shock seems to be a lot smoother and more presentable cosmetically. Not cheap but still better than fitting a new shock I guess.

I can highly recommend MCT, they can service Ohlins and also many OEM shocks.

Very reasonable on price and do excellent setup service.
