[QUOTE="Albervin, post: 132350, member: 586"] Bill, I used to get the most awful squeak from my rear end!! I added a few drops of sewing machine oil to the seat drum friction material and now all sweet. Just nipped so a ball seats in a hole.I think Richardson or Stevens even mention this. When you say " In the UK they are Shocking" are you making a pun or a statement? Konis always needed to be bedded down due their very close tolerances but then they just do what they are supposed to. Over 20,000 miles on mine and still set on the middle position. However, I will say Aussie roads are rough. I also note that many people have springs fitted that are much too strong. Number one rule for road suspension is soft springs and strong damping. [/QUOTE]
