Rear Shcocks

Post by rtmort27 » Fri Sep 14, 2018 4:51 pm

Are there any rear shocks out there with metal covers. I'm missing one and everything on
ebay has plastic covers.

I believe that your bike should have plastic covers.

If you really want steel then search for early shocks from '60-'62, they usually had metal covers.

Also look for shocks with white covers. They remained as steel.

Also search for shocks for C70, C71 and C76.....

No - CA78 didn't come out until late '63. Yours should be plastic, unless it's a white one......
