    GS1000,GSX1100 oem rear shocks. Rebuildable?

    Can the OEM rear shocks be rebuilt?
    If yes where can I get a kit? Is it worth doing?
    Cheers

      The UK ones are not rebuildable for sure and the pics I've seen of others from around the world suggest the same.

          Progressive Suspension, especially the front springs, have always been good to me.
