I had the Fox twin clicker on my R100R (for sale) rebuilt by Fox a few years back. Working with them was easy and prices were fair. That is a wonderful shock and it works great. Sorry to hear that they no longer rebuild them.

My bike had a FoxShox Twin Clicker and I had it rebuilt a couple of times by this guy:
http://www.daughertymotorsports.com/sus ... shock.html Got tired of blown seals, etc. and put a Progressive monoshock on her a few months ago as I've had experience with them on Yamahas. Very happy with it.
Welcome to the forum, Manfred, and MANY THANKS for the link to Daugherty Motorsports.
I think I'll retire the Fox and continue my search for a new monoshock.

Scoots,
Thanks - and my pleasure to be of assistance. Jamie did good work and is worthy of trust, but the Twin Clicker blew seals every 6 months - and I ride on paved roads, between 6 and 12 thousand miles a year. PO on my bike put Progressive springs in the forks. I replaced the steering head bearings last December, followed by the new mono-shock. Best handling bike I've ever owned.

I sent my Works to Works Performance in Ca. 818-701-1010. They changed seals, oil, rubber bumpers, bearing sleeve, and general service. Just over $100. (including shipping). It would be worth buying a blown Works and having it renewed.

Just to provide information: Jamie Daugherty charges $75 including return shipment for rebuild for a Twin Clicker. I sold mine to another Airhead rider who was happy to be able to ride a Fox and have a credible service provider available. I'm happy to have a shock that provides a very good ride and hope it holds together for many years - as other Progressives have.
