Rear Air shocks

[JoBoy68]

Got home yesterday and the bike was bottoming out , no air at all in the rear shocks if the seal is blown in one of the shocks will I see oil leaking ?

Good question, I am thinking no, I too have a slow leak and I have checked all my air hoses and valve stem and nothing is leaking so I am expecting its the seals, good idea to mix up some soapy water and check the valve stem and hoses where they screw in as well as where they couple to the rubber hoses.
By the way the factory springs are weak and I would suggest replacing them with the progressive ones that is if you plan to rebuild them, some just ditch the air shocks and go with traditional exposed spring type.

Got the saddle bags off and found the problem

Oh Boy, looks like a broken spring, good time for some progressive springs, they are better anyhow.
