G,day viewers stupid question rear shocks the rubber stop on the shaft can you buy replacement ones and does that mean you have to splice them to put them on :-\ jimson
-
you pull the end off the shaft ,either the eyelet or the piston .you need a shop press and a split clamp to suit the shaft size
-
Don't cut the new bump-stops - they'll just pop off again if you do (and if you try adding a cable tie or something, the cable tie will break).
Most cheaper -twin shocks are easy to remove the eye and slide the bump-stop onto the shaft.
Most/all monoshocks need to be pulled apart to replace the bump-stop.

Get Mont onto it....what sort of bike/shock brand will make the answer easy.

KYB 4727 45014-1171 I,ve had these shocks for ages from a wrecker the shaft is still clean crome just thought I would clean them all up for a project looks like its going to cost :'( jimson
-
They're probably due for a service anyway. While they're apart the bump stops could go in. If everything else is ok with them then it shouldn't cost a whole lot. Fresh oil and a charge and they'll be good for more happy years of motoring..... ;)

Who is the better man for the job here in N.S.W ? and whats a service cost around about ? Jimson

I'd be sending them to Shock Treatment. They'll do the best job.

Sean O'Sullivan at SOS Suspension is good - and he doesn't get too excited about raping your wallet... ;)
