Shocks... again and again

[KoZi]

After 3 years of rebuild rear shocks ... one of them have a verry little leak on piston rod.

Quick question:
1.Rebuild them again?
2. Buy Hagon Nitro or YSS (version with extra reservoir) ?

Only this two options because of price...

Thanks for any advice !

If the mileage after last rebuild isn't VERY high I wouldn't have the same person rebuild them again.

Hagon Nitros have been recommended here many times 

[ouch]

Yss everytime

Has anybody tried those cheap china made Öhlins copies? Are they totally scrap?

I seem to remember someone on here has and they seemed fine for what they were..
I think someone on my previous Honda CB1300 forum had.. I am possibly mixing up forums..
But I remember they said they were better than they expected.

I was told Ohlins are made in China, the cheap ones have a different sticker.

@Simonic can you post pics and tech details, also a rough price please 

[Simonic]

Yep.
I'm just starting a night shift at work but i'll post a pic tomorrow afternoon and a part number.
When I ordered them from Hagon they asked me various questions about my riding style and my weight and if I rode one or two up. They came to me set up already and they were pretty close to how I wanted them

Hi.Sorry for the delay. I've not been able to find the reciept for these shocks so i can't help you with a part number but i recall they were £450ish.
I've attached a few pics,

@Simonic

How long do you have them ? Do you setup up sag ? Extra reservoir - can you sent a photos from bottom? It isn't a fake reservoir ? - looks different 

[Simonic]

Hi,
When i bought them from Hagon they asked me how much i weighed and what my riding style was. They set up the shocks before they sent them to me. I've not felt the need to adjust them any more.
The reservoir is a working part of the shocker

They are not listed on their web site so must be a brand new design from Hagen.

Or did they come via the "Silk Road"

[Simonic]

I've no idea what the 'silk road' is.
I just picked up the phone and ordered them........
