I have a set of Ricors 12.5" I put on 3 years ago. They are great shocks for when I rode in Singapore and Malaysia, good roads. But have lived in the Philippines for past 2 years and the roads are crap and the shocks are leaking.

What are some good shocks that will handle bad roads? Are Performance, Ohlins, etc durable? I had a set of Progressive 412, but they were just a little better than stock.

 

I'm pretty sure your shocks are rebuildable. Send them back and have them serviced.

 

Thought about rebuilding, but shipping will be around $200 for a r/t so checking on what my options are if I have to rebuild them every 2-3 years.

 

If you destroyed those in that time, I would think it would be much the same with any other shock regardless of the quality. It sounds like you're riding a harley where you should be on a dual-sport.

 

hardtail it with a set of solid struts

 

I am very happy with my Low Profile Heavy Duty Lowering Air Shocks / Touring Models. I know a lot about bad roads... regulating the pressure in the shocks is useful extra.
