I have Wilbers in my 34L.
Really rate them, significantly stiffer than old saggy originals

Originally Wilbers stuff was distributed by a place in Birmingham if I remember correctly.
It's this guy now, I bought a rear shock and front fork springs for my blue 1VJ great to deal with.

From the Wilbers website they list 34L

Thanks cadno. Exactly what I am looking for. I’m putting this on the road after a few years as an ornament/washing drier 😁

Nice collection of bikes there fella.
I've always fancied a Honda XL600 LM or LMF, and there certainly would be room in the garage for a blue 34L :drool:

Cheers I’ve got the twin headlight cowl for this but I think it looks better standard

It’s a 55w . Needs a wiring loom,oil pipes and carbs. It is on here as a resto years ago, had no time to finish it off . Don’t even know if it will run, I split the crankcases and rebuilt it myself. Was maybe going to contact David Lambeth to check it over and finish it but by the sounds of it he’s always busy.
