Bonjour, je viens de trouver une r69s de 1968, le damper n'existe plus et le carter avant n'a pas la bosse prévue pour recevoir le damper peut-on trouver les pieces pour remettre comme à l'origine merci
Hello, I have just found a r69s of 1968, the damper does not exist any more and the casing before does not have the bump designed to receive the damper can one find the parts to give as to the origin thanks

I had an R69S almost 20 years ago, and when I attached a sidecar, I removed the hydraulic damper and fitted a friction damper.
I know the hydraulic dampers are no longer available, but you can change to a friction damper. You can buy used friction damper parts, and new friction material, and new damper knobs.
