Revs Racing will rebuild just about anything and they have a fairly quick turnaround.
But as Pigford says, they're now called Ikon and it may be cheaper to buy a new set.
Maxton do an equivalent but with an alloy body to make them lighter. About £300 though but probably excellent quality.

i can get them repaired for about £70 to 120 depending on what is needed, 120 if the rod needs replacing with a stainless steel one. the guy works for ohlins so he know his stuff
