I spoke to Dukey a few weeks back he is slowly restoring that VMC/KTM 540.

Nice, please post pics if you can when done. I have got an article from Aus MC news that was a feature on Dukes own custom made sidecar kit for the KTM.

Suzuki / Re: RL250 forks - are they 35mm or 1.3/8inch ?
« on: February 02, 2024, 11:38:41 PM »
They are metric '35mm' but they always measure a little under and not bang on 35.00. Ive got various NOS 36 and 38mm suzuki tubes and they measure slightly under when you measure with a micrometer.

Yeah it was just  a box of chrystals and salts LOL. Reminds me of those Answer Roosts boosts. They made big claims but all that was inside was a single 10cent resisistor (i took a few apart)

Marzocchis had bladders and pistons. You can by new freon cell shocks from Progressive suspension. They are S&W's just rebranded when Progressive took over the S&W shocks in the 80's. I have seen people buy new Progressives and paint the spring seats yellow and blue like the S&W's were.

https://www.qa1.net/ do the new gas bags but it seems the one you want is sold out everywhere (i just had a look around)

You can probably get parts needed from seal suppliers Not much back then was especially made for shocks. They used seals already made for other equpment. I'd say if you really want them go ahead, theres always a soloution. Worst case scenario go to different size shaft, make a new seal head or whatever.

Ok thanks. Took a moment to figure out who you were. I am surprised the UFO is a different size though.. it looks smaller than the common 4 &1/2 (114mm) size insert that Preston Petty, PE's and TY Yamahas use. Maybe i confused it with M. Robert?

UFO do the insert for that. Look up the insert for the UFO universal light assy. Enduro Klassiker should have it. Or try MD Racing products in UK. They are UFO importer.

The pipe on the kawasaki is not a Torque Engineering pipe. No '76 is just a general thing but based on what i have seen with pipes on ebay etc, it seems that the factory only started putting the part numbers on them when they were building pipes in the late 70's and for bikes that were current then. Aslo the heat sheild attachment method seems to change in later years. Early made ones had welded on nuts and used screws, later ones have welded on studs and use lock nuts. This is how my pipe is done. Its simple, if it has part number, then i can look it up in the Torque Eng. books and ID it. No part number then your stuck wit ID'ing it purely by sight and test fitting.

Not all were stamped with the numbers. From what i have seen it was later pipes made 76/77 or later.
