This is an example of what we do here that a lot of shops can't and won't get involved in. This is a non rebuildable stock shock from a vintage 1984 Yamaha RZ350. The customer was looking for an upgrade in suspension so we gutted the rear shock and using a KYB 40mm valve body, some machining and ingenuity we were able to dramatically improve the action while saving the customer a good bit of money over buying a complete aftermarket shock. The nice part is the bike still looks stock. If you have a project and a realistic budget give us a call!

Questions about the RZ350 rebuild: can dampening be adjusted? can alternate rate springs be added? It looks like there is still a preload adjustment.

Yes, there is the stock rebound adjustment and spring preload. There is no compression adjuster. Spring rate may be changed to a stiffer or softer rate.

Hi James, we only offer a rebuild and revalve. The price to do that is $495.00 parts and labor (Canadian). This is not including a spring which you would not ned

You rebuilt my 1984 RZ350 shock a few years ago. I finally completed the restoration. Your shock rebuild performs flawlessly. Absolutely no complaints. Thank you for the great work! Leave a Reply. |
