I'm waiting for a few parts to finish my engine on my 1975 850T so I turned my attention to the frame and suspension. Forks are almost done so I pulled the shocks down off the shelf tonight where they have been sitting for 18 years when I started this project. Much to my surprise I discovered they were Koni shocks. My question is should I rebuild the shocks if parts are available or opt for new shocks. The old T handled very well for it's age ( at least I thought ) The numbers on the shocks as I see them through the springs are 76 F 1297 8-71. Chrome on the shafts seem to be in good shape with no visible rust and seals don't appear to be leaking either. Anyone have experience with Koni shocks ?
