Cost of a shock rebuild?

[Coyote]

The rear shock on my VFR is buggered. It shat all it's oil and it bounces all over the place. How much is a rebuild going to set me back? Where's the best place to go to (locally perfurably, can't ride anywhere holding onto it).

Bump .

Might be worth ringing around to see if you can get a good deal and look at couriering it there if the courier and the rebuild are still cheaper than a rebuild alone.

Pop down the road and ask the guys at Cycleworks.

Boyle Kawasaki just did a refurbish on mine it cost me $120. Bear in mind that wasn't a full rebuild. PM Robert or Shaun - I can't remember what Robert's new company is called... there's a thread somewhere here about it... He doesn't like RF shocks but he might be more pleasant about VFR's...

I've sent a PM to Robert and wait to hear from him. I'll go to Cycleworks if that doesn't pan out.

When did I say ''I dont like RF shocks'' ? If I have regularly pointed out the shortcomings of mass produced suspension units and it has jerked a number out of their comfort zone then I plead guilty...

With respect to shock rebuilds it amazes me the amount of ( cheap ) bodgy work that is going on, especially given that peoples safety and lives are at stake.
