I've been giving my MkII BT7 a very thorough - by my standards at least -
service...........
The only major issue, so far, is that both rear shocks appear to have lost
quite a bit of fluid in the last +/- 3,500 miles. I had them off 3,500 miles
ago; their action was poor but did greatly improve with replacing the old
fluid with new. The old fluid was pretty foul and there wasn't much of it.
(1) I have heard that most shock absorber "rebuilds" are unsatisfactory
and presume that there are no new ones available. Any comments so far?
(2) I am tempted by the idea of a telescopic conversion. Specifically
from Ahead4Healeys:-

Does anyone have any experience of this product or its equivalent(s). I
looked at the one from Cape International which looks similar, a little
cheaper and a trifle flimsy:-
http://www.cape-international.com/capeshop.php?parttypes=36
<http://www.cape-international.com/capeshop.php?parttypes=36&thepart=RTC>
&thepart=RTC
Anyone know this one? Or anyone else's?
Any general comments re rear shocks?
(I am based in the UK).
Thanks,
Simon
