My shock started leaking last week and is in a bad way. I contacted a couple local places and there are no options for a rebuild in the area. I would have to send it off to have it done. They are quoting somewhere between 250 and 300 which seems really cheap from what I've been seeing online. Wondering peoples experiences with having shocks rebuilt. Also wondering if you would recommend purchasing a new shock instead and if so why? Also if purchasing new who/what shock would be recommended? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Buy a replacement off Ebay with low mileage like for 40 to 70 bucks...

Then call it a day!

I had the same leaking and shock failure and after talking to people about rebuilding vs new I opped to up grade the shock with the WORKS PERFORMANCE ULTRA SPORT for buell.
