David Silver repalcements fork tubes
71 V12:
Bit worrying this. Bought DS stanchions last year and not got around to building the forks yet. What exactly is the issue with the DS stanchions?
Cheers,
Kevin

I have fitted them to my K2 - the only problem I have is they 'clunk' on bad dips/holes in the road. I posted about the problem and someone replied that its a problem with the DS fork tubes and they had to mod them in some way.

Why not pm UKPete on here ? From memory, the problem was on K0/K1/K2 early stanchions where the bottom of the stanchion is left un-chromed but on the Italian made DS ones they were chromed too in that area. The Yamiya ones are correct, so I bought those instead.

Can anybody expand on the 'clunking' that is being associated with the forks? Is there a known reason for this and a solution?
Any reason as to why it is specifically associated with the DS replacement forks?

I think the problem with DS's were that the piston wouldn't fit onto the stanchion ... so if you assembled OK then probably something else.
