I am just curious on this matter, and I was hoping that someone would enlighten me on this topic, thanks.

It means the shock body has a threaded collar on one end. You can ship them out (preferably once a year) to have the seals changed out, and oil changed. The discs inside can be removed or added to change your valving. You can also have remote reservoirs attached to some that allow for better cooling (more oil) and trail-side valving changes at the twist of a dial.

Rebuildable: new seals & fluid can be installed, to bring it back to original performance, or to fix a leak.

Revalvable: the internal workings of the shock can be modified to change the 'feel' of it, to better fit the individual riding style/weight of the owner & machine.

Wayne over at PEP...the number escapes me can do your shocks nice. I don't think Darrell at HPD is gonna be messing with the custom shocks anymore, you can call and ask though, but they're not cheap. Anyone who has Fox shocks can contact Carver Performance, they specialize in Fox shocks, very reasonable prices, and quick service.

That's true JGL, but he's talking for a Scrambler. Rath might be too busy with Predator gear....I could be wrong though. Never hurts to give a call.

Please don't call him da guy sounds like a Gary thing...not good. Speaking of that did you see SP700 post on Garys website...if there were any doubts I am positive now that Gary and SP700 are the same guy. I am really not surprised as how he knows soooo much about Gary and the Superbike shop. And of course as much as he argues with you how great Gary is.
