Shock absorber Honda N600

Post by Serge »

Hello,
Do you know if it is possible to have new front shock absorber for an Honda N600 please ?
PS : Or do you know if there are Coilover ?
Thanks,
Serge.

Is it just me, or is something fishy about this listing? It's been posted several times and there are no takers.

I don't really see much of a use for it personally.   The rim looks like its got rust around the bead and the tire is good for looks and that's it.   I've got plenty of vintage tires and crappy wheels ill sell for much less if someone wants to buy them.

The listing doesn't look fishy but I suspect their are no takers because;
1.  it is for a bias ply tire found on the original sedans
2.  the price of shipping is going to be expensive
3.  the initial bid price is no bargain
The person who might buy this item is someone who wants to restore a sedan to stock original condition with the bias ply tires on the vehicle plus the spare.   But you would not want to drive that car on the highway since the tires would be 40+ years old.    How many persons on this newsgroup are interested in restoring their car to become a museum piece?
They are more fun to drive.
go honda, go!

I emailed and asked why the bottom photo is a Yokohama A008. The reply was " I have no idea how I ended up using that incorrect tire photo, sorry!"
Finding original sedan Bridgestone tires would be quite a chore for a correct restoration. You would have to find them in low mileage sedan spare compartments.
My father thought he was doing me a favor when he bought me 4 new Ceat brand bias ply 520 - 10s for my Honda 600 sedan back in the 80's. OMG ! Worst ride ever!

My 72 sedan still has the original bias ply tires on the car as well as one in the spare tire compartment. Only 8,500 miles on the car (and the tires).
