Don’t they have the best contingency programs?

You don’t have to like them, but to hate a company that tried to do something new and innovative and actually did it well is ridiculous. It’s a shame they went out of business the way they did and only hurts the sport. Wish Honda or someone bought them ... more »

The building had been sinking for a long time, a cm a year or something like that. That with age right next to a salt water ocean will really damage any structure, especially if not corrected properly or in time. 40 years is a long time for a subpar ... more »

He can’t get into the US in the first place, at least legally.

Can’t help with a recommendation, but you should be able to find a machine shop with one and ask if they would mind checking the cylinder with you. Ask what their favorite beer is and bring a 30 rack.

One in the bazaar for a nice $12k. Such nice bikes but so damn expensive, whether it’s an AF or steelie. Engines alone are always over $4k and no one makes them anymore.

What makes the shifter “works”? May be interested.

Have you tried searching for just the shock body or asking whoever rebuilds KYB how much one is? Should be a part number somewhere you can search.

Have you seen if someone who does KYB susp. Could give you a quote to rebuild it?

Throw an hour meter on, and if you really want to, 2 in the event the first one shits the bed and you’re left without a correct reading.
