Are the IKON dampers adjustable like the Konis they are derived from?
Would slitting and fitting an additional bump stop rubber around the piston rod serve to do this?Hi this is not a reply, more an extension of the question, I have just replaced the Koni damper which is new old stock bought back in the seventies and never used with an Armstrong item which according to K T B a better option for front damping due to it's shorter stroke, thus reducing the shortening of the wheel base when the s/a is fully extended, THE question is it possible to adjust the Koni to shorten the stroke? if so how ? thanks len.c
A spacer fitted internally on the piston rod above the piston would reduce the extended travel. I have dismantled a Koni unit. It was reluctant to come apart.Thanks Eddy, I need to reduce the extended length of the Koni as even on the stand the lower mudguard stay is very close to the mag cowling and by fitting the Armstrong damper the gap is more acceptable, although to be honest i doubt I will be doing much serious braking whilst my wife is pushing it around the garage, thanks len.c
Series C or D?? if it is for a Series D you could use the shorter FF57 for the Series C..JohnI have just replaced the Koni damper which is new old stock bought back in the seventies and never used with an Armstrong item which according to K T B a better option for front damping due to it's shorter stroke, thus reducing the shortening of the wheel base when the s/a is fully extended, THE question is it possible to adjust the Koni to shorten the stroke? if so how ? thanks len.c
