I found the rebuild kits very hard to source, but eventually found a set for my Stradas via the t'interweb, but I got the impression that this was the last set they had in stock.

As an alternative you could look at this: http://z1ownersclub.co.uk/forum/viewtop ... highlight=

there was an article in practical sportsbikes a few months ago on how to rebuild stradas that might tell you where to get the rebuild kits from

emailed these guys for more info. They expect to get some more strada refurb kits in about 3 weeks. Cost for one kit which repairs 2 shocks is £35.90 This includes postage

You can get kits for the Strada air shox easily enough - but not for the Marzocchi oil shox (as in first post).

For those you need to strip and source the seals on your own. IIRC, there was a feature in one of the classic bike mags a couple years back about rebuilding Zocchi oil shox ?
Why do I persist in debating with idiots ? I really should know better :)

As Charlie says it was difficult to get spares for the oil shocks
Anyway bought some hagons and they feel really good
So a result !
