Title: Sachs Bump Stop Replacement, Griso Rear Shock
Post by: Waterbottle on December 31, 2015, 05:30:57 PM
Has anyone here the knowledge to disassemble the rear shock sufficiently to replace the bump stop. This one is slightly worse for wear. I do have nitrogen and regulator to refill if required but would need to make an adaptor to fit. Pic.......

Perfect time for an aftermarket shock....

Traxxion Dynamics in Woodstock Georgia replaced the bump stop, spring, and re-valved my Stelvio shock.

They also have a 'shock sock' to keep the grit out of the seals.

While an aftermarket unit would be nice, I don't have any issues with this one, apart from the massive bump on the road that caused the bottom -out, I don't think any other shock would have done any better, bone jarring.
I'm in Australia, shock is going on a 8V track bike. Even a Sachs manual for this unit would help,

My bump stop was trashed as well.  The '09 Stelvio was a perfect fit and improved handling without sacrificing ground clearance.  (https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-hPXneT7hvCE/U54qsqsURZI/AAAAAAAAAOw/qicQvHMtuf8/w888-h830-no/%252709%2Bshocks.jpg)
