The Search Engine on this website used to be AWESOME. Now I can't seem to get any results. Luckily sometimes Google finds threads here. Here is a link to the other thread: yamaha-enduros.com/index.php/forums/how-...l-flow-shock-rebuild

I have seals that will work but the seal head has to be machined to fit them. I can do that but I haven't been too overly pushing the idea. I could do it for a very reasonable price including seals if someone wants to be the test platform. I only have about 800 of the seals to work with. LOL.

Hmmm. Are you using the "search forum" tab or the search box in the upper menu bar? For some reason I am still troubleshooting, the menus box is less useful than the "search forum" tab.

I will keep after it!

If you have the seals yes. If not, no. The seals I have are close, but not close enough for my liking. I haven't gone any further messing with them.

If you could adapt the reservoir cap to take an air bladder you'd have a modern pressurised set up. A mate bought me a repair kit or modification kit back from the us a lifetime ago. No idea what i did with it but remember a couple of black drill bits & stuff. I thought the works guys could change damping by changing jets in where there are two allen cap screws low down. Or did i just dream that back in the day haha.
Just googling away & this came up. But i've run out of internet untill 24th--gone down to vintage dial up speed haha. Can only see the heading & not sure how old or if even relevant but there ya go.
