Honda OEM rear shocks are not re-buildable, there are no parts available.
There was an Aussie that claimed to have found new springs that would fit, but don't know how that worked out.
Most people replace with Progressive shocks.

Or Works, or OEM. |

Or Works, or OEM. Or low mileage originals IF they can be found.  RIDE SAFE. |

Hey Mark; How are your springs holding up? Are you still happy with the switch? The ebay link states the springs are not available. I'm guessing the chrome cover fits as designed and you can't see the new spring? |

Mark;
Another question, I've never really inspected the shocks closely, always just taken them off, put them to the side, then reinstalled them when time. Never looked at them with the thought of taking them apart.
So how does the top chrome cover piece come off? How did you compress.
Thanks,
Bill

Hey Mark; How are your springs holding up? Are you still happy with the switch? The ebay link states the springs are not available. I'm guessing the chrome cover fits as designed and you can't see the new spring? Hi there, I just did a search on the Ebay seller's name and the springs are still listed: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/DNM-REAR-SHOCK-SPRING-300LBS-20CM-LENGTH-DIRT-BIKE-/170957283695?pt=AU_Motorcycle_Parts_Accessories&hash=item27cdd9216fAnd yes the chrome cover fits back on. To compress them, my mate used an adjustable frame made of angle iron to hold them upright, and compressed them from underneath using a trolley jack. The top shock mount screws off. The new springs are holding up just great. Regards, Mark |
