    If you can afford it send the shocks off to get re built. There are lads of companies that will do it for you and will save you a load of hassle. Give them your weight and and what type of riding you do and they will match the shock to your weight and riding style.

    Always thought the Triumph engine was pretty quite so maybe yours has seen some heavy usage..
    Cam chain tensioner is normally the culprit...

    Yep agree maxton are another good company.. Also seen someone in EBay offering the service...
    It will be about cost in the end and what you want to spend..
    Hagon do cheap shocks new so yet another option. I used them on a CB500 commuter bike I had.....
