yes those are Koni 76K 1343 special D. The good ones. I sent them to Robert hag "konimon" for complete rebuild.

And update. Basically nothing to report. I'm little burned out right now, Should start rebuild in a few weeks
In the meantime I bought, sold, haggle a set of Henry abe's 18" 19" Z1. Front was painted black andcurb bent, had to have it straightened $90 bucks. My buddy Larry Hardy lhkaws.com cleaned and vapor blasted the wheels and they are currently at the polisher for final brightening the edges. I have a complete set of engine covers at the polisher as well
Here is Abe's before and after vapor blasting








After vapor blast. Again the bead area and star edges are getting polished. They should great

Half the old kzs I pick up seem to be black, the rest are usually green. I would run the blue honestly. Problem with lighter colors is they look a little bare without emblems or stripes or something
