Wanted rear suspension FVQ

Post by Tripnut »

I need a set of OEM adjustable FVQ shocks for my restoration project. Bike came with a pair of black Marzocci shocks which look BAD. Used to have OEM on my bike in 1979 and didn't feel the need to change them, and they look good. Magazines were always rubbishing original shocks because they liked the advertising revenue from the aftermarket companies.

Would appreciate any help.

Here in the U.S., only the 1980 model had the "fully adjustable" rear shocks. You may have more luck finding a set in Europe.

Hi Paul, I will send your shocks out on Tuesday. Thanks, Louis
