Well its time to make my winter project list for the bike. Top of the list is front shock rebuild. I have a few questions to ask regarding that. Also rear shock questions.
So 2008 XB12XT. We'll start with the rear shock. Mine *seems* to be weeping a bit. I'm having trouble locating a replacement or any info on it. I'd be open to upgrading the shock (within a reasonable range). Anyone rebuild/upgrade/have a good source for an XT rear shock? If I'm going to shell for a new one I'd like an upgrade of some sort.
Now the fronts. I keep reading about how amazing Showa's new Big Piston tubes are and I'm wondering if anyone has ever found any to fit the XB? Barring that anyone know any upgrades for the XT? i.e. valving, etc. Finding lots of into on other XB models but hard to find info on the XT.
Thanks for any/all input!
