Hello all.
I searched for a long time for rear shocks for my BC1300 restoration. The ones I found were only good enough for paterns so I made some for my restoration and some extra pairs to sell. I had to make quite a bit of tooling to do this properly so making a small batch made sense. Everything is new and matches Boananza factory specs. The hardware was special ordered (not Home Depot stuff) to match the original. The tubes are "show chrome" and the top and bottom pieces that attach to the springs are zinc plated - both just like factory along with all the proper dimensions. The springs are heavy duty and just right - Thanks Hent. The difficult and time consuming part is to get the taper at the bottom of the tube. To accomplish this I made 12 quarter-inch cuts and the swaged the taper over a mandrel, welded and machined (lathe) the ends to a proper final taper. Finally, everything received the proper plating. As you might know, plating, particularly chrome, is very expensive.
Price is $365 for a pair and $15 for shipping to the Continental US.
Please send me a message if interested.
Regards,
Bill
