Yes, mine are the same shocks in the link. They are much better than the stock shocks and a good price at about $125. I've only got a couple of hundred miles on them but they look like the stock shock and ride fine for what this bike is intended for.

I have Hagon: http://www.hagon-shocks.co.uk/main1st.htm
They have very good reproduction shock for the Black Bomber.
The body diameter is very slightly larger so the chain gaurd has to be bent a tiny amount.
I ride my bike hard through dipping and banked curves in mtns of N.C. and they perform excellent.

I've known two people who received shocks from Hagon with a small blemish on them and Hagon wouldn't replace them. The blemishes were nothing I'd have worried about and I'm sure the people I speak of called Hagon raising hell with them....so...

Mike, I am very interested in how you get along with these shocks so maybe a review thread when you got some more miles on them. They look very similar to the originals in my eyes. Excellent replacement.
