Cheers for the suggestion, but most of the metal has disintegrated, and on one side it looks like the lens might be about to fall out! I'll keep my eyes open for some replacements |

Thread: Rear dampers too short?
Post: RE: Rear dampers too short?
Cool, that's a relief, those dampers were quite a bargain. So I can compress the axle, fit the dampers and have the dampers support the axle, or do I need to remove the TBs and adjust the arms? |
