You might get lucky and find some 13" Konis. They are rebuildable, so even some clapped out ones could be a good find. Progressive Suspension shocks also work well.

Hi,

The Koni Dial-A-Ride shocks are excellent. The Dial-A-Ride shocks are now produced in Australia by Proven Products and available globally. They go under the name of Ikon (Koni transposed). As well as new shocks they make available all the replacement parts. See Ikon Suspension

It is interesting that the "Koni" line has not died. Equally the Girling line lives on through Hagon.

If the "Koni" turns you on, but you would still like something a bit more specialized, perhaps Maxton has the answer? See Maxton Suspension.

Hope this helps?
Geoff
