Leaking rear shock 1150 GS
 

Oil dripping from the bottom of rear shock. Can I send it away for repair or do I have to replace the complete unit? £450 for Ohlins a little steep. Anyone any suggestions?

You could always look on ebay for a 2nd hand one or if any one is breaking bike a gs on ebay give them a bell thats how i got one for £50 for my 1100 gs
Good luck Kev

If the stock is rebuildable, you might be able to reuse the spring and just get the shock replaced.
Contact Klaus at EPM...I used their product with great success.

Ok guys cheers. Looks like I'll have to spend some cash. I can get a Hagon for £250.

2 guys who did a talk about there trip to cape town a Africa twins at the meet in Derby had Hagons & they snapped not blew snapped i would rather use a 2nd hand BMW one if i was going to do a big trip or spend the mony on a Ohlin . Probably ok for the road though

You can also try Brunos in Ontario. They dont list a rebuild for an 1150 but may be it worth an email?
