Being a motorcyclist for many years it has always amazed me why we don’t seem to care about our rear shocks. I have come across many bikes that have damaged, pitted, chipped or leaking rear shocks, but the rest of the bike is immaculate!

The rear shock absorbers, and springs, are particularly susceptible to constant damage from the elements while riding the motorcycle in wet or dusty conditions. The effects from road salt, water spray, and stone chipping alone, account for the most shock damage, and over time, can result in the premature failure of the shock absorber, or at worst an accident.
