Restoration of 1951 Vincent Rapide - Part 33 - Rear Suspension

In this video, checking out the rear suspension system, starting with checking the spring units.

As you will see, one of the springs is quite a lot shorter than the other. Compressing the springs demonstrates that neither of the springs steps out dramatically and they compress uniformly.

Then a quick check of the Koni shock shows it to be in very good condition.

Thanks to a great article on the Vincent.com website written by called Max Lambky

I didn't follow all the steps in the instructions but may revisit this again in the furture.
