suspension without springs

No I don't see how you could use these units as just a damper, without some major surgery. If you follow the link and look at the drawings you will see that they are quite bulky and wont easily fit between the existing spring boxes. You would also lose the benefit of the adjustable spring pre-load.

If you only want to use the Avo damper, you could use http://www.avouk.com/pm/29.
I fitted one to the front of my C rapide and it was a vast improvement over the worn out Vincent item. You need to modify the top eye though by reducing its width to fit the top link. I used the TA 100/075.
It can be also fitted to the rear, but the eyes need a lot more modifying to fit. Don't forget any modifications at all to the dampers invalidates the manufacturers warranty.

Cheers,
Simon.
