    Who can tell me about Koni 7610-1394 rear shocks (possible 1983 GS1100E) rebuild ?

    These are literally new old stock - never installed but also obviously in need of rebuilding. Are they worth the time/cost ?

              Are they leaking oil from the shaft seal? If not , maybe you can remove the springs and just buff up everything and paint them.

                  Looks like a rebuild kit is $25 !!

                      Yeah. Mount em and check for leaks or poor function.
                      Rebuild if need be.

                          Ok then - I?ll do that !

                          I don?t see any leaks but I don?t think they have cycled since they were built.

                          I can see the foam (wipers?) are disintegrated - not sure how important that is.

                              Given the price of new ones (even as Ikons as they are now), definitely worth rebuilding them.

                                  Yes i would rebuild them.
                                  Cool factor as well as being good shocks.

                                      thanks! I was thinking so myself but appreciate the feedback - I?ll post them up when done.

                                          I lucked into a similar set of eye-to-eye Konis a few years ago. Got a rebuild kit, but could not remove the gland nut to install it, so I'm riding with them as-is. I have installed heavier springs, but otherwise all stock. I like them a lot.
