The rebound straps were made from canvas. I don't know a length off the top of
my head. I'd need to do some measuring. The shocks can be refilled with
motorcycle fork oil. Put the shock in a vice and fill it with oil. Work the
bubbles out slowly by cycling the lever up and down to it's full range.

Hi,
I am working on cleaning up the rear end of my SII, and I've got a
couple of questions regarding the suspension...
I took off and cleaned the lever shocks, and what oil there was in them
was not pretty. Is there a particular method or cleaning solution to
clean the gunk out of them? Also, what oil should I use to refill them?
All that's left of my rebound straps are a few little shreds where they
were attached to the frame. What kind of material were these made of,
and to what length were they cut?
Thanks,
Chris
'63 SII
