Does anybody have knowledge of the rear suspension in this pic? I'd really like to get a set of those. It was an Ebay item which ended a few months ago, and I did email the seller, but I haven't received a response yet. Anyone with some info or knowledge of these would be helpful. Thanks!

Talk to Gil...... Those shocks are well over $500.00...... Steve

I wonder if I have a contact for those style shocks at work. I think I'll check up on that first before I shell out the $500. However, if that's what it comes to, I'd do it.

Thanks for the info!

I received my reply today from the gentleman who built that motorcycle. He said that those shocks were poor quality, basically junk, and the bottom clevis had a tendency to break. He sold the bike before he had a chance to change them. However, he did give me a tip that I didn't even think of (and I can't believe this!)...VMAX shocks! Perfect!

I live 10 miles from Works Performance and my friend Marcelo is a distributor.
I can get good deals.

Hmmm.... I thought Yamaha shocks were all eye-to-eye, and the Honda takes eye-to-clevis..... BTW He probably got a set if the "cheepie" Chinese copies of the "works" shocks...They ARE junk......The actual works shocks are excellent quality and finish, billet shocks......

I've also heard horror stories about that clevis adapter. They ARE cheap though.

Something similar here:

Probably the same thing.

They do look purty though.

Try these.... http://www.worksperformance.com/html/street.html
Then click on "racer" shocks to the left...

Nice stuff. More $ than a lot of us paid for our bikes though!
