Title: Anyone have a rear ODS for sale?
Post by: sleestack71 on May 25, 2008, 06:57:45 pm

I have an animal that has been sitting in the garage since 2000. I started riding it recently and one day I wnet out to the garage and there was oil everywhere. So I am looking for a read ODS. The aminal is like an 96 I think.

Thanks in advance

No one?

Well, I took the shock apart today and it looks like a bad seal. If I could get a replacement I will have this licked. Does anyone know the stock oil wt. I might want to go lighter because it seemed to harsh with the speed springs.

Yeah but I saw that but if i could rebuild this for the price of one seal I'll be in heaven.

I am also thinking about the seals in that shock sitting around for so long. They get dry and brittle, my Animal has less then 500 miles on it and it just sat for 7 years. The seal got so dry it just cracked.
