2 Strokes Down Under

Yeah, I’ll have the forks out again and measure spring length, but you’re probably right regards tired springs.

How much oil do you guys out in your standard LC forks?
Mine are rebuilt with new seals but seem a bit saggy.

I can see a Mars Bar scheme working on an RZ, but it’d have to be bespoke to match the shape, not an actual LC set cut up to semi-fit....

Blimey Mr Hammer, how’d you find those? Haven’t seen a 400 for sale for a while.
