Z1000R Showa Shox
Posted: Wed Sep 26, 2012 8:11 am
A chap round my way, whom I'm trying to get to join our esteemed club, has a rather nice ELR.
It has shox which he believes to be original and thinks were made by Showa
They are leaking like my bank account and he would really like to sort them by replacing the seals at the bottom of the damper rods. He thinks they might be nitrogen filled? After a quick looksie I can't see any filling valves, nor can I see any obvious way of removing the damper rod seals.
Anyone have any experience of servicing/repairing these shocks?
