[QUOTE="101stpathfinder, post: 1257472, member: 18625"] Some time during my ride I damaged my rear shock. My guess would be it was the streets of Mew Orleans or my selection of dirt roads in northern Minnesota that did it. Either way, on my way home from minnesota I noticed a small puddle (5-10 drops) under my bike. I was hoping it was just bad luck parking until I saw my kick stand was covered with oil too . I traced it to the shock. When I started riding, I would hit a bump and the bike would start bouncing... And continue to bounce. My questions are: Blown shock seal? Will it damage the shock further to ride it back from Iowa to Florida? I am thinking of stopping in Woodstock, GA and have Traxxion rebuild it again. It was just rebuilt less than 1 year ago. Any thoughts or advice??? [/QUOTE]
