    Hadn't ridden her for a few months and went out tonight to prepare her for MOT. Rear shock had collapsed. Anyone know if it can be serviced and regassed. If so any recommendations on who might do it?
    Thanks

    I take it it is the shock absorber that has gone and not the linkages?

    With the rear shock it depends on how much you want to spend?

    If you want to keep the price down then I would suggest you give Ivan or Rod a call. (see below link)

    http://thetriumphforum.co.uk/forum/f22/parts-finder-used-parts-1540/

    A new Triumph replacement one will cost you the mere sum of £732.71:eek: So maybe not.

    Hagon Shocks would be a better bet as the base model is just under £300 and the one with a Hydraulic adjuster cost £425.

    M66012 - M66012 TRIUMPH T-BIRD & SPORT 900cc(SMTTC398) 98<02 | Hagon Shocks Limited - Twin shocks, Mono shocks, Fork Springs, Wheels

    With regards to rebuilds Brook Suspension from Bradford do this but I have not used them, but it might be worth giving them a call.

    I would also suggest you have a good look at the linkages as well as they may be the cause of the shock going.

    Cheers
