I don't know anything about aftermarket options... I'm sure there are
good ones, but they'll be spendy.

A rebuild of the existing shock should be no problem. Most shops in my
area charge in the neighborhood of $50 for the service, plus the cost
of the new seals. I don't remember off of the top of my head what the
seals cost, but it's not a whole lot.

Having never looked at a KX60 shock, I don't know, but I'm surprised to
hear that it's not rebuildable.

If the replacement you found for $50 is in good shape, I'd call that a
good deal.

Most shocks are serviceable. Even those that are not designed to be
serviced, usually can be taken care of if the suspension guy knows
how. However, it will cost way more than $50.
