Sachs Bump Stop Replacement, Griso Rear Shock
« 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.......

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.

If you ever feel like no one pays attention to you, try making a sandwich in front of your dog
