Before I rebuilt mine they would bottom out going over the smallest of bumps
and "sag" allot. I ordered springs from MG. Measured the old ones to the new
ones and found that there wasn't much difference, but put them in anyways.
I couldn't of been happier after putting everything back together, I
actually had shocks! They bounce, absorb bumps(as much as they can on
Detroit roads), and haven't bottomed out yet. I remember they were pretty
reasonable in price also. Used trans fluid in 'em also, pretty light oil.
Sorry I don't know of any aftermarket springs.

Hi All,
I'm not sure grouse are in season yet, so check your state regs...
My '72 Ambo feels pretty sloppy in the front end...sometimes good bumps
really jolt the bike. I rode my friend's 2001 Jakal and the difference is
night an day ( although the ambo sounds much better).
I realise that the is thirty years of technology at work here-but would like
to get a better ride. The rear shocks are progressives installed in 1995...
but the front forks have had the oil changed but nothing else.
I'd like to hear any advice and from those that have experimented with new
springs... I see there are dutch stiffer fork spings for sale at $150...Yet
Dave Richardson notes in Guzziology that these (original guzzi) forks were
far from the best- and he's yet to find a played out fork spring...
MAny Thanks for your input.
Noel McCormack
