MR. FIELD!!! was it you who rebuilt the rear shocks a few years back? if so, do ya remember the details? [5cc of oil?] thanx! andy |
It was. They were the Konis fitted to some police models. The other type
are non-rebuildable.
There are no published specs for the oil capacity. I just experimented
by adding more and more until it seemed to interfere with getting a full
stroke. Then adjust them per the instructions in the V7 Sport manual
(early Sports came with Konis, too).
They worked pretty well, but the longer, externally adjustable Konis
from a LeMans 1000 work even better.
