    my last post was needing help with my carbs on my 1987 VFR 700.After replacing almost everything.I replaced the slow speed jets as my last thing to try .The new jets seated real tight as the original ones did not.They are closenow and i can now ride the bike with out any worries,Until yesterday.
    Bike ran good . Came home with rear shock leaking oil.Have tried to search for some info on rebuilding the shock .No luck .Can these shocks be rebuilt or they throw away models.Can someone point me in the right direction

    Thanks for all the help in the past, Bubba

    +1 on that, second gen shocks are a tough one.

    No, they are not rebuildable, Works suspension and Hagon still make new shocks for these beasts. If you can scroe and old Ohlins or Fox Twin Clicker and rebuild them you would be pretty good off. Jamie rebuilds the Fox's and Ohlins still rebuilds their old units.
