Fox Rear Gas Shock Help on my 86 vfr750 ????

Where can I take my bike to in northern calafornia"Bay Area" to get my fox nitrigen filled rear shock rebuilt on my 1986 vfr750f? Fox no longer supports them??

 

Jamie Daugherty rebuilds them.

 

there is not much you can rebuild on them. Unless your changing the internal shims for damping. Just take it apart, clean and refill with like 5w oil. There are,if I remember right, only 3 o-rings you can replace. You can get the bladder filled with nitrogen just about any mc shop. 300psi. I do have the Fox instructions I could fax to you if you want.

Nor Cal beat me to it, I would send it to Lindemann. Quality work , been doing it since dinosaurs were racing.

 

The Lindeman folks are people I would trust, without even thinking about it. Hardcore Norcal racing folks, some of the best in the biz currently.

 

I sent my fox shock back to them a couple of years ago and they rebuilt it for around 125. Did you call them>? Traxion Dynamics is also a good outfit.

 

My Fox shock cost me, thinking...at least $650 12-15 years ago. It was sent back once to Fox for a total tear down and re-build. They sent the old parts back with the shock, still have them kicking around in the original Fox box. I replaced the stock shock at about 10,000; so my bikie in its life has had three shocks. Stock - Fox shock, then the re-built one. I doubt how well a 929 shock would work plus you dont know how bagged out it is. You could always get a new spring for the Fox you know. Well cheers anyway...Who was the women in the red skirt? A knuckle dragger such as urself is capable of getting such a nice lady? Nice blue paint job on the viffer/

 

Damn, 30 bucks, Tinker you shoulda jumped on that one.

 

I'll second (third?) the recommendation for Lindemann. At least give them a call. They won't want to work on that old of a bike, but if you take the shock off, they'll probably work on it. They rebuilt the forks for my '86 VFR about 2 years ago. New springs (1kg/mm), revised the damper rod openings, replaced all the seals/bushings. Total transformation of the bike.
