Subject:R134 question / front shocks
From:Jenny Loerzel
Date:Fri, 13 Apr 2001 14:05:31 -0500

Hello,
I am going to try to get my a/c on my '87 Westy up and running for this
summer.  It hasn't ever run since I purchased her from the PO a year ago.  I
noticed that BD carries an a/c conversion kit.  Has anyone had experience
with this product?  If so, was it easy to install?  Would it be something
myself and another list member could handle alone?  What other parts will I
have to purchase to make the conversion complete?

Also, I recently replaced my rear shocks with the KYB's.  They work great!
Now, I would like to replace the front ones, but was told that the KYB's
might not be the best shicks for the front.  Could I get some feedback from
some people that have replaced their front shocks?  Which is the best,
Bilstein, Boge, or KYB's?  How long are shocks supposed to last?

Please p-mail me as I am on digest.
Thanks for your time,
Jen
Karma Rose - '87 Westy
