The rear air shocks on the wing started leaking air only while on the center stand. Several emails and telephone calls to Progressive Tech yielded that they couldn't be rebuilt. They are an older version that has about 14,000 miles on them. The leaking down while on the center stand has gone on a while, I was hoping to ride out the remaining part of the year. Murphy had another plan. Last Friday I went to check bike over for the Pie Run and the rear shocks wouldn't air up at all. Decided that whatever was leaking had failed. Ordered a new set of shocks and today started taking the tupperware off to find this...
Both sides the top is hanging out of the body, no wonder it won't hold air! After removing the shocks I found this on them both..
The inside parts (damper?) have unscrewed themselves from the top rod!
So my question is , has anyone rebuilt Progressive air shocks and can lend any pointers? I'd like to repair them and have them for when the new set does this
