Hi guys, I'm restoring what I thought was a K75C but now it's down to being a K75. But it has a Koni shock on the rear, and I have a Progressive, 3 BMW stds and something that looks like it came off a later model K11 or something bigger than a K75. Problem is that none of them are showing issues like leaking. Well can't really tell until they're on the bike and I've bounced it around a bit. BUT they all suffer from the rubber bumper disintegrating. Perhaps that's understandable as the bike itself sat in the weather for a few years out in the Avenues in S.F. But is it possible to obtain the bumpers themselves? Checked on having the Progressive renewed. The fellow down at Catalyst Reaction Suspension Tuning, was of the opinion that Progressive is at the lower end and that buying a new one would make the most sense. He may be right but I find the idea of tossing 5 rear shocks which appear to be functioning a bit annoying. is that the emotion? Or abusive to my wallet.
Does anyone sell the rubber bumpers? Is this a case where special tools etc make the change out of the rubber more expensive than just buying a new one? I know we're only talking USD $300. here but still. It's money that could be used to make the bike ...prettier?
