Rear Shock ??
Are they rebuild-able at all ?
Had a Guy that said he could do it but now ...... well lets just say he
has plenty of time to do other things like lifting weights etc.
Second question :
Anyone know of anybody adapting a rear shock from another bike
to the Hurricane ?? if so info please .
I know all about the big $$$ options for Hagon's , Penske's , ohlins etc.
not going that route ....too expensive

shock
I blew my rear shock earlier this year.
Contacted a specialist rebuilder in London who described what to look for if they are rebuildable.
Sadly from what he told me the Later F model rear shock is a sealed unit and not rebuildable.
Like you I was appalled at the price of an alternative replacement and didnt like the adjustment of the Hagon's.
Ended up buying a S/H unit off ebay.
Having said that it works fine and I have no complaints.
If you do find someone who can rebuild or another shock that will do please let me know.
Regards, Blue.

I looked into Race Tech several years ago, and their web site said that the rear shock for my 1990 was not rebuildable (Third line under rear shock) http://old.racetech.com/evalving/eng...ngname=english
But they have a ton of stuff for the front fork.
