Hi, looking for some advice about rear shock absorber on my Electra X, having been out for a 50 mile run today, when I got home I noticed fluid leaking from rear shock. Any ideas on cause? I understand that the Electra X has gas filled rear shocks, can these be repaired or is it simply a case of replacing it?
Thanks,
Mike.

Seals have given up.
You can strip them down to change the oil and can be re pressurised to 100psi.
But you can't get at the seal as the damper tube is crimped over and sealed.
Replacement is your only option.

I suspect out hosts will have a set of Hagons the right length. If not, try NJB shocks.
