Lasse,
been along time since I heard that name last I heard they had gone to the wall. Did not realise someone had bought them over. Although i believe an OZ company was thought to have been interested but that was just a rumor at the time .

No, KONI is still making shockabsorbers but only for cars.
they have stop making shockabsorbers for bikes.

A bike company here in SWEDEN sells out left over KONI monoshocks for some bikes at a very good price.

You could probably claim to be the only one with a koni shock on your fzr. I at least have never seen one.

Someone either on here or on the Archives had one. I have seen that style before, but it has been a while since I've seen it.

One just sold on eBay: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/KONI-2615-SINGLE- ... 0407161105
