I have a set of aluminum body Koni 76F Honda clevis mount shocks for sale. The markings on the spring referenced off of a Koni chart that I have tells me they were spec for a Honda CB400-Four. The springs are fairly firm according to the chart so I figured they'd work well for a very sporty 400-Four or even heavier bikes. 120lb springs if I recall correctly and am reading the color dot correctly (dark red spring code).
Aluminum bodies, red painted springs, dark red paint dot spring rate code.
Finding the aluminum body versions of these is a rare find and much sexier than the cheaper / heavier steel versions.
***these will need rebuilt - as will ALL old Koni shocks that have not been updated. The top out bumpers internal to the shocks will dissolve over time and gum up the damping assemblies. The damping is fouled up on them due to this very common problem with ALL old Koni's.
Rebuild parts are available from "The Koni King" Robert Haag rhaagusa@gmail.com I believe is his contact. I have spoken with him before on these.
There are a few slight blemishes on the shafts chrome but they are barely even discernable in photos, & Robert & our suspension guru buddy Kenny both told me not to bother with getting new shafts, & just to run them as is.
I'll take photos soon if anyone has any interest in these. Trying to clear out some no longer needed spares to make way in the budget for some hot rod Suzuki GS stuff and a vintage 1977 Suzuki PE250 Pure Enduro resto-mod build and some Fox Factory Shox & Racetech fork upgrades for that.
Thanks!
Chuck
******UPDATE - Pending rebuild and following pending sale to Rod Tattoo...
