I have a set of newly blue powder coated springs and a pair of freshly painted bodies off an 1100R that I got done before i realised that one of the piggy back reservoirs had a hole in it so there was no compression damping at all in that one. All the metalwork is in a box for the platers but I didn't bother when I noticed the hole - if any of this stuff is any good to you I can send you a picture and sell you it pretty cheap.

Apart from painting plating etc there's not a lot rebuildable about the standard shocks as far as I know...

someone on here made a device which makes stripping these shocks down easier, it was on a rebuild thread some months back.
