have you done a parts comparison to find out what other models shocks will fit?

Hi Jellywrestler. Thanks for your reply from what iv been able to find around the net it seems they share the shock with the same era XR (Haven't been able to find one either).

What is wrong with your one? Although Honda will say it is not re-buildable, with a bit of Kiwi cunning it can be done.
XR shocks are longer and have a remote reservoir.
Chances are that any other one you track down will be just as worn out too.

Gooday Muzz, The one iv got has no rebound and I did have a look to see if the you can re gas the damper .etc but its a sealed unit and I don't have the skills/tools to do it (looks like you would have to cut open and re weld). Thats good to know. I was just going off what a few people where saying on forums around the place.

Bring it out one evening,, I'd take a look.
I've done thinshocks and an XR Prolink (all suposedly non-rebuildable), but not al XL.
nothing to lose if its already knackered......
