P1000 Where to rebuild Elka's

[GPR1500SC]

The listing says it all I need to rebuild one of my front Elka five's shocks, and was wondering if there was a shop here in the state's that could be recommended for the rebuild?

Shock rebuilds without wanting to change valving or anything isn't a difficult task. Just order a seal kit and oil. If you are comfortable wrenching on most other components then you can handle a shock rebuild yourself as well. Keep the parts in order and in the proper orientation and you'll be fine. As you disassemble put the pieces on a wire or something if it helps you keep it straight.

Thanks 👍
I have no problem with taking it apart I thought they were charged with nitrogen gas?

Fox are Nitrogen. I believe Elka’s are oil. I’m sure their support would tell you 100% for certain though. I’d call (or email) them to verify first. You’ve got to get the seal kit and oil somewhere anyway.
