Finally Happened!
I guess sooner or later something would wear out on the Nomad. I just noticed a small leak on the garage floor (right side of the bike) and thought it was coming from the brake hose. After investigating, I found it was coming from the hole in the bottom of the shock. I can't tell any difference in the ride. Is there a kit for the shocks or is it replacement only? It's a 2000 1500 Nomad with a little over 49,000 miles. :-/
Thanks, Zoom45

There is no kit available that Im aware of, just replacement.

I've got the same thing after 32,000 miles on my 1500. The Showa air shocks are not rebuildable AFAICT.
Where I could tell the difference was in a high speed sweeper. The bike wanted to bobble around over minor road imperfections. |

I've noticed that too. Haven't seen any leaks.Now I know the culprit, but I already suspected that. :)

No kidding. I just don't want to spend $900 on another set of unrebuildable Showas.

That's why Ma Kaw sells the bike at a good price. Make it up in the replacement parts. :)
