I just had my 'Wilbers' shock rebuilt. After the seals failed. Why did they fail?
Dirt and goo from riding in the rain, the desert and the shock being located in front of the rear wheel. This will work on a STOCK machine, as well.
The Shock is now 'protected' by a 'Shock Skin'. They are used by the DIRT
riders all the time. It simply wraps around the shock body, and is velcro'd in place. Its made outta neoprene, and breathable.
The rebuild cost $150.00, and the bike was down 2 weeks.
I hope this keeps you from the expense and down time!
A maintance 'TIP' for ya...
