After 25 years of sitting on dunlops I felt I needed to replace them on my MK1 850 with new.
Obviously I read lots of posts on a number of forums before buying them early last year but probably bought on price as I felt that the 2 "genuine" reproductions were probably equally as good.
So with the lock down I've finished the birthday on the rear and am half way through the front giving it a disc upgrade as well.
When I put this car together 25 years ago I lowered it an inch by trimming the trumpets.
The rear is some what high which reading other forum topics is probably right with these "genuine one and only std cones" which I've ignored as I understand it should settle.
However I can't slip the upper bump stop into the fronts unless I compress the cone and then it only just goes in, which is alarming.
So I'm looking for some advice from those in the know
Will these cones settle?
or
Do I need to buy a set from the other one and only std genuine cone 93mm supplier - which will leave me feeling a little pissed as I was hoping to use the funds for a new set of wheels & boots.
or
Should I ditch the trumpets for Hi-Lo's - again not in my budget
or
Should I trim a little more off my trumpets - how far can I go
Many thanks
Carl
