What is the current thought and supply like for a coil over shock for a Brampton front end for a B twin? I haven't really followed this for the last couple of years.
Thanks

I am wanting latest available tech as well.
Here are file photos 2014.
the bottom Brampton mount is criticized as not strong enough.
There is a "hook" design option for this concern.
Ohlins or Works can build a damper to fit this coil over app.

This pictured design would seem to require a headlamp move.

I did a Thornton coil over. and have welded some iron under the heablamp steady, (on a new brampton, not the originals)
the pivot is in the alu part, (bolt fixed)

Hi Robert,

Alyn in Australia had asked the forum about interest in an Australian made unit from a company he was working with. I have not seen or heard any more about the project. I hope he might discuss it here. I was looking for one too.

Gene.

I am extremely disappointed to see the bottom headlamp bracket nut hanging on by only a couple of threads, definitely not what I expect from one of our master engineers, go and stand in the corner Vincent, with the dunces hat on!

Only kidding of course, I am sure it is only mocked up for the photo, great looking job, can I have one please?
