Triumphrat

Last week the Mrs and I took a short tour to Door County, a beautiful part of Northeastern Wisconsin. The Triumph ran great and made a perfect short-tour bike for 2 people. One glitch though - the rear shock is now completely dead, beyond any hope of resuscitation. It was completely bottoming out on any bump bigger than a mild one. Burying it in the Pet Semetary brought it back to life, but as an Evil Shock, so I had to kill it again.

Are our shocks rebuildable? I see there are a few shock rebuilders on the web. If I have to replace it, what economical replacement would you recommend? I'm not in the market for a $1000 Ohlins, just something to keep it riding comfortably on my tours and local commuting. Any help is appreciated.

I had a shock***** the bed two weeks out of warranty, Triumph offered 0 help so I had Works Preformance build one for me , They build to order and to you and your riding style. Its been perfect in all areas. The factory shock was also impossible to adjust. I also upgraded the forks with Works Preformance tunable springs at the same time.
