What sort Irish?
Chen Shin are getting good reviews . . . . :happy1: yeah, or not.
Been using the grinder again eh :stir: :stir: :stir: :cheers:
That's horsepower sweat, nothing to worry about
The old pre load adjuster leak Irish. Are you going to replace or do the leak fix trick? I did the fix, must be 10 yrs ago, been fine ever since. I used 90 oil.
I think i fixed mine with either filling with grease or gear oil. Can't remember, but they still work.
👏Never thought of grease Eric. Sounds a great idea, fit a nipple, loosen adjuster, pump the max into it. No need to even remove nipple.Anyone know a reason why not a great fix?
I recall stripping thr shock and filling the void in the adjuster I think with grease. The nipple idea seems very doable.
I'd like to see some pic's of a converted unit, sounds very interesting.

Looking at the leak Grog I dought even thick gear oil would stay in. On my K5 after dismantling them I found one shock had no damping so I threw them in the bin and bought Hagons.
Good thought Mate, checking the actual shockie👍I'll get onto that.Ikon get good raps, the old Koni.No idea if as good as Hagon.

I have Koni on my XJ900 fine for that bike.
Now you mention it Col, I may look into those tyres, but theres plenty in the middle.

Looking at that tire it appears you have trouble keeping the bike upright, come on Irish, try harder, you'll get the hang of staying upright eventually. :whistling:
to repair, you or one profesional

I can and have repaired shocks if its feasible, however these are original 19 years old, I dought it would be worth it.
If anyone knows where to get Marzocchi Strada shock kits please let me know. 1980's era.

Thanks Grog found them and even know the street they are in.
Had them on GS1000, pumping them up annoying.I bought proper little pump which helped.
