I paid $671.5 delivered from Albury to Hamilton (Aus)inc GST for 7610 shocks with adjustable damping and preload without covers.
Superb shocks, transformed handling of 71 R75/5.

Wide black tape hides ugly yellow.
And yes there is a cranking comparison on web somewhere, I haven't seen it but a friend of mine has.
They are marginally heavier than most others.

I find Motobatt better than anything else I have used. Use them for my SWB R75/5 as well as my difficult to crank Ducatis. They hold their charge for months.

I replaced gasket on mine and leak stopped. Not sure why they decide to leak after years of being sealed. I think I used some sealer on new gasket.

Hi Bobby, I am across the border from you in Victoria Aust. I was facing similar issues to you with my 1971 R75/5. It had broken a ring. Rather than rebore and new pistons I elected to purchase the Seibenrock 1000cc kit. I also had the heads completely reconditioned locally by a very well respected ...

Flanders Euro bars are perfect for the /5. Bare end mirrors (Halcyon) fit perfectly on mine. I have a brand new set, still in wrapping. Bike fell off stand and bent origional Flanders bars so i bought a new set, but was able to straighten the origional bars. Could sell them to you but freight to US ...

Hi Josh, I am running the Dyna 3 ohm coil (the green one) on my 1971 R75/5. It will work with standard points set up also. I am running it in conjunction with an Alpha Classic electronic ignition. Its working beautifully. The advance mechanisms and bosch coils on these old girls are 40+ years old no...

Hi Brad,
My 1972 R75/5 SWB had the same wobble at 80mph and above. These SWB models are well known for this wobble. I recently fitted a pair of Avon AM 26 tyres to the old girl and problem has vanished. Unexpected but welcome outcome.
Cheers

Thanks Barry. That seems logical. I am currently running the standard carb set up with #135 jets. Rebuilt carbs recently and replaced all jets etc as per Haynes manual. The only thing i didnt do was service the choke bodies. Both manuals recommend main jets sizes from #130 upto #160 for 32mm carbs. ...
