1980 Z1R rear shock restoration question

I am doing a cosmetic restoration on 2 pair of 1978 Z1R and 1 pair of 1980 Z1R rear shocks. The 78 's all have a rubber bumper on the top of the shock rod so it does not bottom out at full compression, but the 1980's did not have the bumper. Did the 1980's come with that bumper? If they did what is a source for the correct looking ones?

hi sorry i cant answer your question ,but can i ask in your refurb have you managed to get some bump stops if so are they 12.5 mm approx inside thanks david

I would try to look on the Automotiv sector. There are a lot cheap stop rubber bumper avaliable you can use with some modifications, (for example VW Beatle).

Bump stops are 9.90 mm I.D. since the shock shafts are 10 mm O.D. on 78's and 80's

I would like to find bumpers that look original......but the important question is did they even put them on the 1980 models?

Any pics of the damper and bumps stops?

I think that's exactly what he's asking for. Someone else with a 1980 Z1R with original shocks to take some pictures.

Hi Ralph
Here are some pictures of a members 80 Z1R
It is restored , but I also put in a before picture showing the rear shocks
This is a past BOTM in OZ.
I hope this helps
Dave

Thanks Dave....but the before and after pics are both none OEM shocks

I will keep digging

No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationHere is a sold item that might be from a D3. These also have no bump stop.

Thanks DOHC....I contacted seller ( numbnuts603 ) even though they were sold to ask about bumpers. They looked restored due to color/ finishes.
