    SORRY FOR THE PUN .AT THE KEMPTON OFF ROAD SHOW AUTOJUMBLE UK I FOUND A SET OF ITC OHLINS SHOCK OF I THINK A 510 . ON STRIPING THEM I FOUND THAT THE ITC PART OF THE PISTON ASSEMBLY HAD BEEN CUT OUT AND THE SHIM STACKS REVAVED BY ROBIN AT FALCON SHOCKS UK. HAS ANYONE USED THIS MODIFICATION GOOD OR BAD. HOW GOOD ARE YSS SHOCKS ON THE 83 THANKS

    yeap pretty standard mod to do away with the ITC piston, if the guide bushes had excessive play or wear this would allow the ITC piston to contact the outer body, thus bending the shock rod.
    Robin knows his stuff with these shocks !!!
