I will see if I can get a new shock under warranty as the bike has only 12000km in 6 months, however what worries me is that the lugs may break off again so I may have to MIG weld them on the sides as they only look riveted on.

I wouldn't try welding them unless you strip the shock down...
Heat the oil......
Any presure in the shock will/could cause a blow out once
the metal turns molten "melts , softens under heat"....
Blistering on the inside that will/could stop the piston traveling
or sealing on the inside wall.. need honeing after welding......
