I had to use a full can and then just a little of another but now this thing holds pressure! Rides like a totally different bike and handles better too! So a thanks to Dex OH I used to be foto frank but had to reenlist as Franko GL500I '82 RETIRED AND BORED!!    Report

I originally thought it was just air, but the shock need4steed donated to my bike had oil in it.  That may explain why mine wouldn't hold air.

Seems like one hell of a mess inside. I cleaned fix a flat out of a tire once and it wasn't anything that I wanted to do. Couldn't imagine it in a shock. 1979 CX500 Supertanker ATGATT makes riding a bike like a sled easier. Quick Reference    Report

I bet the ride is extra firm....

DON'T CLAIM TO KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THEM shocks but it has an air nozzle on it and it said up to 70 psi so I figured there must be an air-bladder in there some where. It now doesn't sag when I put my 240 lb.on it , the bike is more stable in the turns and to replace and do it right would be half the cost of the bike! This works in the mean time. this winter will be a rebuild of the pro link linkage and a new shock replacement. DEx said his is still working fine a year or more on.
