FYI - Current list price on the OEM Kayaba (KYB) shocks is $427 so when it comes time for replacement, most VX owners are opting for aftermarket shocks. If you want to stay with the OEM shocks for a more reasonable price, my suspension guy can rebuild your tired and/or leaking stock shocks for $125 each - as long as you haven't run them dry too long and trashed the internals or the chrome on the shaft. He will completely disassemble, clean, install new seals and fluid and charge with nitrogen.

He can also re-valve them if you want firmer/softer compression damping and/or slower/faster rebound damping.

His website with contact info is http://www.brucessuspension.com/

(special thanks to Skidplate for donating his worn out shocks to experiment with)
