May I be so rude as to ask how much you paid?

I too have just had a rear shock serviced by DenzO.
I think with all things, it really depends on the amount of work involved in reconditioning the shock. You would need to get in touch with him via PM and let him know what shocks you have that need working. Ie the bike they are off or the part no, or if they are an after market shock etc.
I priced up a new replacement OEM shock at £1000, and a second hand one at £200. DenzO quoted me a fraction of the used price, so it was a no brainer, to use his service.
I can’t give the guy enough praise for the service he provides. He quoted me a 5 day turn around, and it was a pleasure doing business with him.
Thanks, gents for the recommendation.
Price always depends on what needs to be done or what condition is the shock (internal parts).
I'll always give the best price possible and try to give the best value for your money.
Shock service normally £110 ~120 that just a guide price sometimes rod needs chroming or the piston band is worn out.
Or I get the shock of 1997 r1100gs see on the picture and my hands drop to the floor...
Good news It didn't leak!
K1300GT came in with a snapped cable...
I'm here to help if anyone needs service or upgrade of the stock suspension.

Hi DenzO,
Can you service an Ohlins rear shock (for an R1150GS)?

Just had my LC shocks back from Denz0, bike's done 32,000 miles and it was getting a bit 'loose', now it feels better than when it was new. Cant recommend his work highly enough, certainly the best £300.00 I've ever spent on the GS.
I've just had my shocks refurbed out (BG Motorsport at Silverstone), they've come back with new front shock absorber bushes (BMW part: 31422311994 (31 42 2 311 994))
There are 2 of these bushes fitted, in conjunction with a bush, around the vertical spiggot of the front shock absorber where it goes through the frame. However, when I refitted the shock, i found the metal washer that fits over this bush is smaller than the rubber bush and so 'digs in' when tightening the nut. I can't remember if it was always like that or what!
Can anyone confirm if the washer needs to be the same size/bigger than the rubber bush, and how tight I should tighten the nut?

Has anyone got contact details for Denz0 as I need my 2008 non ESA re-sprung? It says send a PM but I'm not tech savvy and can't figure out how to do so. Cheers, Matt

Its similar to the hexhead setup,
i had a similar issue when i had mine, the bushes compress over time so you get movement.
If i recall the way to do it is to fit the lower and put the nut on the upper with the washer in place. drop the bike off the centre stand, so the front suspension is under load
i seem to recall the bush has to go a certain way round, but i cant remember which way lol
once you've figured that out its nip it up, then torque it off , other wise you get movement and clonking.
I seem to recall the washer is the same size as the bush,
i need to go check now
I also just had my shocks serviced by Denz0 as the front was leaking oil at 38,000 miles. He fitted a slightly stronger spring on the back suited to my weight and whilst i’m now a bit tiptoed when stopped, I’m very happy with the way the bike rides now. It’s like having a new bike again.

leak
My front ESA is leaking, Denzo to the rescue. I'm delivering both front and rear to him Friday 4th jun on our way from Yorkshire to Brighton
for a wedding. He is going to service and lower them both in time for me to collect them on the way back up on the Sunday.
Bloody fantastic service.

Hi, Sorry to jump on an old post, but I’m trying to get hold of a contact number for the forum member Denz0.
I have a 2002 R1150 GS and the rear shock is dead, I’ve tried a few places, but keep being told its not repairable, as I can’t afford £400 + for a new one, Denz0 appears to be my last hope.
Thanks in advance !
