That's misleading info, I'm afraid. Parts for the 'old' Koni's are still available through Ikon, as Koni arranged in the deal - when they sold the motorcycle shocks division to the Australians - that Ikon would continue to provide the service. The number on my Koni's is 7610-1302. They are still available, same number, only with the name Ikon. They were and still are popular. I wonder if you have been sold the wrong type, for another Honda 500 or 550.

Hi All,
I got a seal kit for my Koni 7610 Dial-a-rides from these people https://www.performanceparts-ltd.com/ very helpful, kit was £37.00 in June 2023. As for oil they and Ikon suggested SAE5, I was going to use either SAE 5 fork oilor straight SAE 5 hydraulic oil (ISO VG 22), as for qauntity the attached image is what they sent me. Hope this is of use.
