Thanks for your advice..have ordered my spring kit...rear shocks later.

Ok thanks for that Steve..could you please email me at [email protected]. ..I have a couple of questions.

Yes i agree a huge improvement is worth the investment.my springs etc are 35 years old..but bike still handles well...when i jump on my old Bonnie i appreciate duke design more.does your kit replace all internal fork components Steve?

Have the old girl on the road and running well now and looking good after repaint but fork seals need doing again so I figure its time for a fork upgrade as am still running original springs...I see on the forum talk of Steve's fork kit and am thinking this may be the way to go. So any feedback from ...

I have Koni rear shocks and they are getting tired..I would prefer to have them rebuilt if possible..but if not what ia a good replacement? Any clues?

Thanks for the advice - I replaced the ignition switch and that seemed to fix it.

I need to replace the crap Chinese cartridge cone shape air filters on my 78 900SS - does anybody know the K&N filter model number to use?

Thanks thats great - appreciate your help.

Thanks for your advice - I may have to send it off to have it done. But I was really after the upholstery pattern so I can maybe get it made up here in Darwin - its a solo seat for a 1978 900SS. Ive never had a solo seat on it so I dont know the pattern or even how the whole seat fits into the ...

Thanks for the advice - I didnt think about those two - wiring from the stator is rather old and original! Will also check the feed to the coils. I have also ordered a new ignition switch - I remembered that it did similar things years ago and I replaced the ignition switch which fixed it.

cheers ...

I have always had the dual seat on my 1978 900SS but recently I lashed out and bought the fibre glass solo seat base. Now all I have to do is paint it and upholster it! Anyway I have always wanted one so now need to figure out how to upholster it. Anybody done this? Anybody have a design for the ...

I have just finished a bare frame rebuild of my 1978 900ss (Black and Gold) which I have owned and ridden in Darwin Oz since 1979. It was off the road in boxes for the past ten years but now looking great. It was always a fairly reliable bike in wet or dry and after I got it back on the road it was ...

Thanks for that Kev - I used Penrite HPR50 in my Bevel for many years in Darwin - unfortunately the local supplier closed down so I couldnt buy it locally and turned to Valvoline. Good point about the classic racers though - of course racing conditions are quite different than a road bike but would ...

Thanks for the replies all - didnt mean to start another endless oil thread - just some advice on the best il for a bevel in a hot climate!

Hi

The old girl is getting there at last and goes and looks great - I live in Darwin and its very hot for 5 months of the year - whats the latest with engine oils ?- I always used a Valvoline multigrade oil but Im being told that synthetics are now the go. Any ideas/recommedations?

cheers John
