I understand from a friend in Swindon that this place is immortalised (?) in the lyrics of "English Roundabout" by XTC

My turn.
Hi I have just replaced a pair of Konis 7610-1413s with a new pair of YSS (Thailand) Copy of some German squash box.
It works Ok looks Ok but the lower clevis is too wide and has to be shimmed up 1/4in it also has a center clevis . IE its not Biased. Make your own bolts with a perculiar shank.

Point  Is I now have a pair of Too Long (30MM)  Konis 1413s almost new which will fit a late model CB 750 and 00

I quite like roundabouts because if nothings coming you can just drive through, unlike sitting at traffic lights waiting for them to change.

But in the wintertime  how do this roundabouts works whit 0,30>100.0 cm snow  ? :o

Egil, this is Southern England.  It snows about once per year, usually about 1/2 inch and goes away after two or three days.

But when it does snow, we all stop (famous for it) as we are not set up to endure this level of hardship !

I put some Hagon's on my 77, it works fine.  Check at http://www.davequinnmotorcycles.com .   

If you're not hung up on the stock look, keep checking ebay for shocks from a kawasaki zrx1200r.  They'll fit, they're rebuildable, remote rechargeable reservoir, and they have full rebound/compression control.  Very decent shocks, way etter than stock, and should be under $100.
