Rear shock

alanlouthzzr · 2005-10-23 16:19:41

I've got a 1995 ZZR400 and I need a new shock. I don't want to pay the £255 +carriage that Hagon are looking for and I don't want to buy a second hand shock from e-bay which may be worse than mine. I haven't heard of anybody who rebuilds them over here. Any advice?:confused: Thanks, Alan.

Don't know of anybody doing rebuilds here - it's a pretty specialised job.
Not all shocks are rebuildable anyway, many OEM ones are not.
Hagon are probably one of the cheapest, I'm afraid
When changing the shock make sure all the suspension bearings/bushings are in good condition and well lubed.

In Cavan there was a great fire / Judge McCarthy was sent to inquire / It would be a shame / If the nuns were to blame / So it had to be caused by a wire.
