[QUOTE="greg brillus, post: 52551, member: 597"] Hi Graham, to answer your question.....they are a brand called "Fastace" which are a very good brand of shocks that seem to be made for off road Pit bikes, and of differing specs as to length, spring weight etc. The two I bought were a very close spec to the length and spring rates that I need.....However.....to fit one to a road bike, would not be impossible, but I had to modify one end (machine it thinner) to fit where the original "Upper" attachment is. And this is quite simple for use on the front.....but at the rear, I had to make a special bracket to fit where it attaches to the rear frame member. This worked out well, because as I said in an earlier post.....A coilover at the rear can bend the normal through bolts at both the front and rear attachment points. To be honest, you would be better off with one of Laney Thorntons units available Form Dave Molloy in the USA (see advert at rear of MPH).
