with the manx bieng soo light i was tinkering with the thought of some big bike shockies maybe cr 500 shocks somethin with a res- carbon charged wadda ya rekon excellent travel ,adjustable coilovers, very light, rebuildable

also i have a set of old konis off a bus who rebuilds these suckers

A freind that raced a class 2 buggy used bike shocks and remote caninsters on the front . don't know what they would be like on the rear

dubbill - where're you based ? I've got a mate who runs a Land Rover spares shop and is also the SA agent for Konis and can rebuild them, I believe

Bruce Meyers reccommends that you get a set of new standard Beetle shockers and they you dilute the fluid in them. If you U2U me with your snail mail address I will send you a copy of the article in the Manx Mania magazine. He reccommend that for the front and standard Beetle shockers on the rear.

For a couple of years I fitted set of half worn Beetle shockers on the front and standards on the rear. I finished up with new standarsd all round, which worked well. A VW shop or wrecker will let you rummage through the old shockers box for a matched set that has about half the resistance of new ones. They will be really cheap.
