    Rebuilding shocks

    So where do you guys get yours done? How much for Rear? How much for Front? Both?

    Pretty sure the rear of my yz250 is blown and i figure I'll get it rebuilt over winter.

    I was gonna get the shocks on my cbr rebuilt as well. Was gonna bring it to GMD Boston. Will they do my YZ as well?

    I know my friends with snowmobiles ship out there shocks to get them rebuilt for like 65 bucks, any good reputable shop that does that as well.

    Thanks guys

    Re: Rebuilding shocks

    was just gonna type the same thing, FC is a good option in addition to gmd.
    http://www.factoryconnection.com/index2.htm
    select Services then Rebuild, forks/shock $100 labor each.

    Re: Rebuilding shocks

    FC is more dirt specific while GMD Boston is more street?

    So maybe FC for the YZ, GMD Boston for the CBR.

    I'll probably pull my forks/rear shock from the dirtbike and drive em in, and just drop off my whole streetbike.

    Pete (GMD Boston) does plenty of dirt stuff. He is also local and very active in the local community. I would give him the first shot with your business. He will work with you not only during the sale, but afterwards as well to ensure that everything is performing at it's best.

    We do both road and off road shocks and forks. I just sent out the November flier, if you sigh up, I'll send you a copy.
