Koni shocks - rebuild info

[Erny]

I need to check if there is some type number on my shocks, but obviously these are not 7610 type. However, length as OEM (~320mm) and except conflict with chain guard they fit

Old Konis are difficult if not impossible to get parts for, the later ones you gan get parts from Ikon

Bryan, unless you can point me somewhere else, I can only find parts available from Ikon in Oz. The UK distributor has now stopped importing them. I'm after seals (for my Guzzi shocks)

Ñobody apart from ikon to the best of my knowledge

They look like 76k 1320 series shocks ( the number was behind the white plastic cover behind the spring) the same as I have on my 400. I was told by a guy at Koni all the parts are available for the internals as they use the same parts as used in car shocks.

76k or 7610? 1320 or 1302?

76k 1302 stamped in the metal behind the white plastic cover.

Tried to rebuild a pair of 1979 - 76k 1302 with the assistance of Geoff at IKON Australia. A lot of the “new” internals will not fit especially seals, gland nuts etc - access to a machine shop is essential if using original piston rod. The thread in your aluminium body maybe @ 1mm smaller diameter than the new gland nut - although the pitch is same - but a good m/c shop should be able to help. Alternative rod seals are available - but again may have to m/c new IKON nut inner housing to accept rod seal. If you can keep original piston & rebound assembly then it should be OK. A lot of extra hassle (& expense) - otherwise you are looking at new replacement shocks. I preferred the alumin. Original look so persevered with my employers tool room. I think the original Dutch Koni bike suspension was based on old imperial sizes - not metric - IKON stuff seems metric.
