Front shock leaking

[Tom Fitzpatrick]

Just thought I'd put it out there per chance I might get an informed answer. We have a 1977 Honda XR 75 dirt bike that has a leaking front shock. Where best in Calgary or area would there be a motorcycle shop to repair this shock? Or are there independent individuals you know of that could do this? Thank you.

I'd take it to a Honda dealer or rebuild it yourself. Likely just needs new seals:

I suggest doing it yourself, a motorcycle retailer shop will hose you.

Thanks very much - just ordered seals from David's suggestion. Will give it a go. Much appreciated.

I do Mechanic work in Acme, alot cheaper than other shops. I am fully licensed/ insured and have all the proper tools and do lots of them. Don't forget you need oil seals, wipers/dust seal and fork oil. 403-703-5700
