Hello again! I have to start thinking about the shocks for the GSX250 my question is... Can the original ones be restored? If so how do I get into them If they are shot what would you recommend? I have seen the cheap ones on ebay and they look ok but anyone know of any alternatives? (I was hoping to spend no more than say $250 if poss) Cheers Guys Ebay Ones The ones off the bike
There are places around that will re-build them for you but to be honest..it will probably be more that the cost of the eBay ones... I know for old Honda (early 70's and up) road bikes the UK SOHC forum say TEC shocks are really good but I dont know if they are available here. Have a good look at your shocks.. if the shafts are pitted or corroded forget about them... unless of course you are dong a full not and bolt 100 point restoration... https://www.tecbikeparts.com/products/shop-parts/tec-shock-absorbers/suzuki-shock-absorbers/
Yeah thanks mate, I have had a look and they are pitted so I'm thinking that I will get the ebay ones as a hopeful solution and I can always upgrade later on, I just want to get the build going so that I have a rolling bike as soon as possible. I did buy some from ebay on the GN250 I did and they seem ok (probably not the best quality) Thanks as always!
to rebuild the originals will be 700 hundred and up. replacements will do the job, just not as well in my experience.
