    Rebuilding Wilbers shocks?

    I have these on my LT (bought in the US). In searching the forum, Robert mentioned that there was no disti in NZ.

    I have nearly 20k on mine and they need a rebuild every 40k km. I guess they have to be sent to Oz to get rebuilt then? Any other options?

    I was in W White Wholesale last friday- they were giving me the guided tour and Ross showed me the two 6 meter shelves of wilbur shocks that they have just got in. With more on the way. they have stock to suit late model MXers through to old Notons and Trriumphs he said they will have a full rebuild service too.

    But they WILL NOT deal direct with you, they wont even answer your emails so go to your local dealer who has an account with them and tell them what you want.
    Retired- just some guy with a few bikes......

    Thanks for the info. I'll keep the name for when the rebuild is required.

    Ahhh, good to know. It was an Ohlins guy at SJBMW that helped me tune them satisfactorily.
