I thought that was well known?No, I knew that already, so it is fairly well-known but I imagine only to those having contact with the subject. Like hardly anyone knows Nissan used to be Datsun. Having installed Ikons on my own CB1100, I take it they are Ikons. I don't call them Koni, the guy I ordered 'em from didn't call 'em Konis, so I was confused.
KONI made motorcycle shock absorbers from 1967 which were imported into Australia by Proven Products Pty Ltd.
Koni decided to close it’s production of motorcycle shock absorbers in 2000.
This decision lead to a special licence agreement being struck between Proven and Koni allowing Proven to make the motorcycle shocks under its own name for the worldwide market- Ikon

All that pedantic drivel aside, Ikons are very good shocks and you have a most excellent setup.
