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?

You could always look on ebay for a 2nd hand one or if any one is breaking bike a gs on ebay give them a bell thats how i got one for £50 for my 1100 gs
Good luck Kev

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.

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