Rear shock rebuild 08 gsa

I had that question for a shock a few years ago. I forgot what bmw it was off. Rang a few people who said the shock was sealed for life. That’s code for “I don’t have the tools/expertise to do the job. Firefox do a great job. JJH
€100 to rebuild a shock? I’d ask them exactly what that includes. Then go for it. JJH
Is it an ESA shock??

Denzo does ESA shocks if i recall
I was in the same boat a few weeks ago with the the front and rear 1150 GS ADV shocks for my rebuild project. NDM in North county can't /won't rebuild oem shocks. I contacted Lucas aka Denz0 about the shocks by PM and then on the phone to see what he was going to do . I sent the two of them over by post which cost 29.00 euro(15.00 euros postage, 14.00 insurance).
I got a PM from Lucas to say my front shock was fubarred and not repairable but he had a solution, that was to supply a 1200 shock which required modification. This was the first one he had done so was a test shock so to speak. This shock got a full service / rebuild as did the rear one and he upgraded the rear spring with a heavier one from his stock of leftover oem springs to match the front, sprayed the shock bodies etc and sent the whole lot back by courier for £250.00 which in my opinion is great value for money.
I have fitted the shocks to my daily runner to try them out and can definitely say there is a vast improvement in both shocks.
My advice would be to send it over to Denz0 you won't be disappointed.
Cheers

Good find. JJH
A new spring? Does the front do much? Or to put it another way, does it do enough to need a new spring?
The old spring would have lost some of its ahem spring. JJH

I’m sending a shock to the uk in the next week or two. Who did you use for postage and how much? Thanks! Think my shock weighs about 7/8 kg. I expect your esa weighs more?
Owen, I have a shock in my garage you can borrow if you want to keep your bike on the road.
PM me if interested.
YSS with preload adjuster.
