According to Practical Sportsbikes magazine these dampers cant be rebuilt.

I got a sarky email back from them after saying I had no problem rebuilding mine with new seals and using hydraulic oil, apparently that wouldn't be within the ability of the average magazine reader ... 

Replacement seals worked fine for the couple of years it was used before it got replaced by an adjustable one.

It`s been in a drawer since about 95 but I was rooting around a few weeks ago and found it, action still feels good with no leaks, but that may change if it was actually used on the bike.

Thanks.

Rebuilding isn't a problem but probably not practical to some folks.  Action is fine and no leaks but not used in anger yet.  The new seals looked no different to the old so we will see.

..... perhaps you can pass along the seal info for others wanting to refurb thiers ?
