More Shocks

I rebuilt both of the shocks with a new main seal and thicker (20 weight) oil. I followed the directions from scooterlounge.com. Filling the shock with oil was a mess, but eventually it worked. If all was done right, I now have two fully functional front shocks.

The mechanical parts are all getting painted with PPG paint. I picked a slightly darker silver than stock. When the stock color and the dark silver are next to each other they look like they match, but as the pictures show, the shadows get darker than the stock color. The red tape below are just ID tags so I can tell which shock is which.
