broken shock eye

[DVH]

pasotibbs mine went the same way last year, luckily I got a replacement under warranty

 

only mine wasn't corroded and the bike hadn't been used in winter.

 

Best cure, buy a rosso corsa with ohlins.

 

where about in sheffield are you, up for a run out some time ?

Yes the Ohlins would be better but then I'd have to do the forks and then.......!

 

I've hopefully managed to get another Sachs from Reboot (off a 2004 low mileage bike) for £100 so that will do for the french trip and I'll see about getting a better shock later as I've also discovered the bevel box has the common play in the pinion problem and also needs the right needle bearing replacing !(I'm just about to ring the dealer)

When its back together a run out would be great,I live over near Concord /Meadowhall and work at the Childrens Hospital.

I finally got round to stripping the old Sachs Shock It was much easier than I thought it would be, except that when I unscewed the "Eye" casting from the damper rod it cracked around the thread (it was only thread locked on so it seems the casting cracks with little effort which explains a lot )Anyway I thought you guys would like to see.
