If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.
If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Not going to happen. There are no fittings on the shock to change oil or fill with nitrogen.
I was waiting for that; Look up SaltyMonk I think he got a Ducatti shock to fit (83 GS750) using his OE spring

I believe Hagon makes a replacement, but they are not cheap.

At one time someone was going to take an 1150 shock to Lindemann Engineering to see if they could tap the shock for fittings to change oil and recharge nitrogen. They lived in the same town as Lindemann so it was going to be easy for them to drop the shock off to have a look see. The guy never posted back with the verdict though. They would be the only people I know of that would perhaps give it a shot. The problem I see is there is limited room in the area of the shock where the fittings would go. Give Lindemann a call and see if they are willing to take a look at one of these shocks. I have my stocker that could be sent to them or you could send them yours. If they say yes you could have them rebuild mine and you keep it since they'll have it already. If they'll work on it I'm sure they can make it work better than it ever did even new. If not, they can toss it in the dumpster.
