Air shock info

[Solo So Long]

To follow up on my thread asking about substitute air shocks, I have some info for the next guy with the problem.

The shock is a Showa MN5-003 ("Double-Oh Three, licensed to leak!")

Honda part number is 52500-MN5-003

Eye diameters: Top 16mm rubber (for lug), Bottom 14mm w/metal sleeve (for bolt)
Eye-to-eye: Max 13-1/2, Min 10-3/8
Air shock oil seal (55X68X13): 91257-KE8-00
Takes 4.7 ounces of ATF (Honda Shock Oil SS7 will work too).

The shock was holding the 40 psi I put into it the other day, but there was some fresh drip, so I pulled the saddlebox and wormed the shock out from under the subframe. Taking a good look, yep, it's leaking, but I see no actual damage, so I'm going to try some ATF-friendly seal swoller-upper, and if that doesn't work, then I'll give replacing the seal a shot.

Current status:

I put in some ATF swoller-upper and refitted the shock.

It's holding pressure fine, but I haven't been on the road with it yet.
