Title: 82 RM465 adjustable rear struts
Post by: smalls717 on July 20, 2014, 09:44:43 pm
Chasing a set of adjustable rear struts for a 82 RM465.
Searched e-bay, googled, can't find any so far.
If you have a set and would like to sell please let me know.
Thnx.

Easiest way is to make them up yourself. Some hemispherical ends and some quality alloy round bar and your good to go. I've had them on my 84 E and never had a drama. If you do it as a DYI then you'll end up with right hand threads at both ends which means that you have to take one bolt out to adjust them. If you've got access to a set of left hand taps then you can have genuine on-bike adjustable pieces.

Bahnzy's referring to the 84 set up. Which would be a bit hard to make up for the earlier models as they have the different rocker arm strut mount set up.
