Well my shock that was rebuilt 3000k ago just blew out! CRAP CRAP CRAP!

I would be really mad (four craps!) but since I like to tinker it will give me something to do.....

I am going to need a rebuild soon. My bro had one go and said he couldn't find anyone to do it and bought a used one. If possible I would like to rebuild myself. If not, does anyone know who can do it?

Mine is at race tech right now, they said it would cost $150-200 depending on what parts it needed. And about 5-7 days in the shop before they send it back to me. 4 days to go, cant wait!

That racetech quote is the best I have heard yet.
Perhaps I need to move on this.
Let us know how they do, OK?

Got my shock back from Racetech.
I am no longer riding a Buell pogo stick.
$159.95 for basic rebuild, plus shipping both ways another $30.00. Feels like a new bike, we'll see how long it lasts!?
And it ended up taking two full weeks there and back, not to bad.

Yeah I just sent mine to them to see if it will last longer than the last guys who rebuilt it.

If you don't mind me asking where did you send it last time for the rebuild?

I would rather not say. I am not doubting their work, they warned me that it might go bad again, but I want to see if Race Tech will do something that might last longer. They were reasonable on price and lead time, plus they were local (kinda)Super nice guys! I am going to have them rebuild my front forks soon.

Race Tech did mine about a year ago. It's been great so far. Can't beat the price either.
