    OEM Shock Rebuilding - Denver, CO area

    I found a place in the Denver area that will rebuild our OEM shocks.

    $132 per shock and can get the job done in just a few days.

    RG 3 Suspension and the owner is Matthew Hoskins.

    They are located on 6th Avenue in Golden, CO.

    Earl, this is great news. I removed my original shocks and replaced them with Rancho 9000XL's, but have kept the original shocks with the full intention of rebuilding them someday. I kept the link to the place in Texas that rebuilds our shocks and I think the total price was around $600. Having a place closer than Texas is great. Now I just need to save up a little change and get the shocks to RG3.

    Thanks for finding them and sharing the information.

    I was looking at the place in NC and noticed they were a motorcycle shop that specialized in specialty motocross.

    Found the RG 3 place that did the same.

    Sent an Email and pics of the shocks and got the good news.

    I'm going to have to save some more pennies too, but I hope to have this done this year.

    I've got two sets of OEM. My set that has 90K and I got a set from Richard up in Fort Collins. He was replacing all of his VX OEMs with Ranchos and he gave me a set of OEMs that were being changed.

    I would love to take my daughters VX back to stock shocks if there is anyone that has a set to sell. Then I can have them rebuilt.
