aermacchi250 Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Hi Was just wondering if anyone knows who can replace the rod end on my Sachs shock from my 04 V11 Lemans. I don't think i can take it apart any further without screwing up the seals. I don't need someone that will rip me off,just a fair shop. Thanks Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Mike The Sachs shock is not very good to start with so most here will advise you replace rather than waste money on a repair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GuzziMoto Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 There is a full range of shocks available from economy to Penske. If the shock breaks bad things happen. The stock Sachs shock is not worth the money to repair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrt Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Sorry for the bad news, but it's true. On the bright side, you'll be a lot happier with a better shock (I hope!). Also, you'll go a lot faster, since your wallet won't be so heavy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yamalama Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 The Penske is worth every cent. (8983 model on my V11) I believe that GuzziTech is a supplier. They may have a better price than Penske direct. Here is a direct e-mail address I used for great service from Penske: mikehimmelsbach@penskeshocks.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuzziMoto Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Mike Himmelsbach is a great guy (and a racer). He took great care of me when I bought a shock for the wifes V11. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aermacchi250 Posted June 30, 2011 Author Share Posted June 30, 2011 I actually talked to Mike today at Penske.$875.00 with a 3 week lead time for my bike.I'm glad i have 2 other guzzis to ride in the mean time I only wanted to get the sachs fixed so i could ride the bike until i bought a new one,but i'll just ride the Sport until i can get the Penske.
