brucey Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 I'm rebuilding the rear suspension on the above bike. The rear Sachs shock is a bit 'iffy'. The dampening screw has snapped off, the bump stop is perished and the adjustment rings have been mullered by someone with a screwdriver and hammer! Bearing in mind the age/value of the bike, whats my cheapest option? I phoned John Shirt & RCM for the availability of second hand units, but no luck. RCM have a 'Pro' unit but said it would be too long (mine is 280mm between mounting bolt centres). They also said the adjustment screw couldn't be repaired even if I sent the unit for reconditioning. I was under the impression that the yellow spring rear shocks were the same across all models but it seems I was wrong. Apart from just leaving it, has anyone got a good one lying around, or suggest where I could try obtaining a good second hand unit? Any help appreciated. Bruce.

thespikeyone Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 has anyone got a good one lying around Hi there brucey, I bought one on ebay a couple of years ago for my 2001 TXT 280, went away with work for a few weeks and some scroat nicked my bike. So I have one in the garage which is pretty clean, no leaks or mulleredness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brucey Posted August 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 (edited) Thanks for the replies guys, Could you double check your units are 280mm between mounting centres and e mail me with some idea of price. Sounds like I may have a solution to my problem! A photo would also be nice if that's possible! My e mail address is bruce.yule@tiscali.co.uk. Bruce.
