C15 shock absorber top bolts

[V500]

If you're going to stick with old British bikes then forget the UNF tin and start a BSCy tin instead.

Hi Dane,

Sorry but I am going to disappoint you.  This is my first brit bike and the shocks appear to be good.  The problem is in attaching them to the bike.  I suggest that you start a fresh thread as there are some helpful people on here who are sure to come to your aid. 

   I now have matched UNF bolts and nuts, so I can proceed, although the idea of using BSF nuts is more appealing. Maybe we will come back to that. 

   I also removed the luggage rack to make it easier to attach. I am sure I have seen pictures of C15s with racks that don't use the suspension mounts, and I can see why.   

   BR,
       Ian

Try Hagon's; they do classic bike shocks.
