FACs are upgrade dampers. It takes a bit of work to fit them to an
Eldo, but I think it worth the effort. Prices are changing so rapidly
these days, check with MG or MI or Agostini.

 Well, one I just tested gurgles and has open non dampned spots in the
travel so I will presume they are both toast.

what are the FAC's your talking about and are they worth the extra
effort , price ect ect.

They do go bad.

Squeeze the front brake and push down with force on the bars. Do the
forks resist or collapse like a house of cards?

Or, if you have them in hand, push and pull on the rods. Do they go in
and out through the stroke with even resistance?

Replace with the longer G5 dampers and springs. Or, with a little work
you can put in FACs.
