+1 Linton.
Don't you look at my accountant.
He's the only one I've got.
If you just want to restore it to new condition and performance (ie stock damping) then they look fairly easy to rebuild. I have done a similar rebuild on the KLR shock and its not too difficult. Get a new seal head and bump stop

The only thin I would add to the tutorial is to use loctite on the nut holding the piston to the shaft. You dont want this coming off ...
it's not a bad thing till you throw a KLR into the mix.
those cheap ass bitches can do anything with ductape.

I found the most difficult part of doing the KLR shock was getting the spring off as I dint jave a good spring compressor, but in your case it looks like you have screw collars to wind off, so much easier.

3 long hose clamps can work well.

Linton is great but plan to have your bike off track for quite some time......he can take some time. My last 2 shocks have been serviced by precision motorcycles in Rolleston. Very good work and prompt service.
Thanks for the replies. I decided to have a go myself. Ive got it all apart. The spring is looking quite tatty and paint has peeled off and is rusting in places. Do you think getting it sandblasted and powder coated would work?
