Koni Shock
« on: April 06, 2005, 10:34:03 AM »
Can anybody help me with the part number for Koni Shocks for a 400f 1980's. I emailed Koni for somw information  but they need a p/n or can anybody tell me what oil and how much? they have a number stamped on them but it's not a good tamp and I can't read it. They look like the one in the photo...thanks

You need to check with Ikon in Australia. Good luck with that too- I emailed to buy some springs and they never replied.  Luckily Terry P helped me out and they're sitting in the basement waiting to be mounted.

The guy from Koni can give me any information I want with a full part number, outstanding people even though they dont make them anymore! I expect I will get the same question about the P/N from the Ikon people as they bought the machines to make them of of Koni.....thanks

80s 400
Assuming it's a CB400N (79-85) part number will be acording to IKONs book (KONI)
Try 76-1408 OR -1302 Clean the lower chrome bit and read the numbers there all over the place but get it right.

It'd be doubtful if you'll find much in the way of parts for those Koni's, they are the old alloy bodied non adjustable damping types from the mid 1970's. What do you need for them? Cheers, Terry. 8)
I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

That sounds about right mate, I measured the brown rusty muck that came out of my 6 year old Koni's and it was about 70 - 80 mils. I'm going to use ATF to refill them. Cheers, Terry. 8)
