what kind of shock is this?

Post by Sluggo » Sun Sep 10, 2006 4:59 pm

I have a pair of shocks in my workshop. I tried googleing the part # and came up with 0 hits. The part # is KC55 9 V 30 (the 'C' could be a G). They are red & say Made In Japan.

Anyone have any ideas?

Cool! Thanks! I just got a line on some used rear Konis. So I'll probably just sell these. Unless it falls through.

No Problemo...thanks be to ratwell =D>
That tire write up of his is very nice as well.

I recently discovered that I have old man-hoe shocks on my bus, pretty nice ride I guess but I get the brake nose dive all the time. Ahh..sigh, someday soon.
