Race Tech Shock
I purchased a Race Tech shock for my 2005 Goldwing last year. It took them nearly three months and a couple phone calls to get it delivered to me. I had my mechanic install it for me and when he did, he discovered the connector to the actuator was broken. He ended up using the one from my original. The shock worked great for awhile but after 16,000 I took my bike in for its annual maintenance. Mechanic said the shock is done. The seal blew and there is no more damping, just spring. I guess I just didn't notice. Anyway Race Tech told me today that my shock it out of warranty and will cost $400.00 to rebuild. She also told me they expect their shocks to need a rebuild each year and it's normal for the seals to go after 16,000 miles. I'm now in the market for a new shock but it won't be from Race Tech. I'm better off with a stock OEM than this. |
