Ceriani rear shock absorbers

[mauricejota7604]

Hi Miguel I have recently completed the same job but can I suggest 10 weight oil will improve your rebound, I also tried to get close to 20 and first added 15 weight and that oil was just too heavy for the primative valving so I changed it down filled the inner and outer tube tipped the shock onto a slight angle pushed the piston down about 7mm and locked them up.
Now the next job you need to do is replace the rubber eyelets at the ends of the shocker>
Good job my friend.

I had a shock bolt come off at Mallory one year at an ILOC test day, the handling felt funny and I stopped ...

Way back when we were in out 20's, I was on a ride with my brother. He got T-boned by a car at an intersection in a town about 200km from home. The impact bent one of the shocks on his Kawasaki 500 Mach III triple. Rather than ride with a jammed rear suspension, he simply removed the bent shock and rode home with the one suspension unit on the opposite side. I thought the swing arm would have flexed in torsion and cause the bike to wobble all over the road, but it didn't slow him down. He set a cracking pace through the twisty bits. I was struggling to keep up on my Honda 4.

hi all , can anyone help me with this :where can i find replacement for rubber parts to service ceriani shocks?

hi!
Your only chance is Wolfang, he makes a custom adaptation of the seals, or sometimes he has a complete set of a rod with the eye that can use standard seals... but I don't know about his availability, I think he is trying to reduce workload.
Lots of luck!
Miguel

Wolfgang Haerter, Canada. He has plenty of parts, good prices and fast. He said that he's going to limit his activity so you'll need to make sure that he'll post to France.
