Leaking rear shock 1150 GS

Oil dripping from the bottom of rear shock. Can I send it away for repair or do I have to replace the complete unit? £450 for Ohlins a little steep. Anyone any suggestions?

If the stock is rebuildable, you might be able to reuse the spring and just get the shock replaced.
Contact Klaus at EPM...I used their product with great success.

The Beemerboneyard sells used. You can let them know your needs or check back to the site often.

Shocks

You can also try Brunos in Ontario. They dont list a rebuild for an 1150 but may be it worth an email?
