I don't think the stocker is rebuildable.  Sounds like its time for the Hayabusa shock!

If I was to have to replace, it I don't think that I would go with another stocker.

Goat, welcome to the board mate.... :beers:


As for your rear shock, give the guys at Terry Hay's Shock Treatment a ring, they will probably be able to help you out with some advice.

No worries Goat.....

If you haven't already found out, there are a number Aussies and Kiwis on the board, so if you have any questions relating to the biking scene downunder I'm sure one of us will be able to help out..

Any year Hayabusa shock will work for the 2001-2005 B12 (and I'm guessing the '06, too). It will lift the tail up ~1.25", so if you want to retain the stock height you'll need to install lowering dogbones to counter it. If the bike has pod filters instead of the airbox, it bolts right in. If you still have the airbox, you'll need to trim a mount tab off to clear the reservior.
