OEM shock rebuilds?

Post by scouse »

Can anyone recommend a company for rebuilding... Or more to the point regassing an OEM shock... in this case one on a twin spark F650GS which is actually supposed to be a Showa.

Not sure Revs Racing rebuild OEM shocks but these do. Repaired my 1200GS ESA rear shock for me.

Nearly 20 years ago Revs Racing rebuilt my OEM R1100RT rear shock. They brazed a filling valve onto the shock body in order to re-pressurize.

KB Racing in Malvern revalved and rebuilt my Dakar shock. We also added compression adjustment to the reservoir.
