Yes, you can rebuild shocks although Im not 100% I think that the stock kawasaki shocks are welded? I have a set of Mullholland shocks on my 650 and Ive had them apart although the Aluminium seal holders stripped :blush:

when I removed them and I had to make up a stainless set on the lathe, worked out ok as I was able to machine the nut/holder to take a hydraulic ram shaft seal. :cheer:

Ther is a mob here in Brisbane Australia that rebuild even welded shock, must be a bit of a mission though.
