I bought a pair of these because they were the cheapest universal rear shocks on ebay. Someone pointed out to me that the gas reservoir is completely fake and there is nothing inside the shock at all. I've done 11.000 miles on them so far and plenty of hard off road riding along the green lanes of Kent, Sussex, Surrey, and Hampshire, and they havent blown up yet. I would say for £35 they have been adequate.
Do tnese ride better then the oem sportster shock? Couldn't be worse could they? Also has anyone rebuilt these or recharged nitrogen? I'm wondering if the internal orings and seals are the same as any famous brands or if a seal kit is available?
Thanks for the video. I’ve just bought a set of these for my triumph street scrambler. I’m struggling to find 16mm bushes for them. Where did you get yours and was they easy to fit into the existing rubbers. Cheers Mike
Just bought these for my Bike and will be installing them this weekend. So far they look good and by putting my weight on them seem a little stiff, I will update y'all when I get some road time on them. I recommend checking the pressure on the shocks when they arrive to make sure you aren't low.
The problem with these is, you don't get any realistic data, e.g. a spring rate, or at least for what weights they are made. Sometimes they give the max. load, but then they do not write if it is for a pair or for one.
Funny I just picked up a pair in red even came in the same exact box. There is but one difference, yours say RFY and mine say NTC lol... How did they hold up?

i also want them for my Xjr1200, are they any good for that bike
I recently acquired a XJ 900 1983, How did you do the handlebars conversion?

This was done over 2 years ago now

I’m thinking of going with these for my xj750, how do they feel compared to the stock shocks? Don’t want to end up downgrading for just aesthetics
Just an idea, a valve spring compressor makes very short work of taking out bushes on shocks

Hi, i have one of this, how can i adjust the pressure and what is the right pressure for it? Thank you

Ive just ordered some for my cg. How have they held up for you?

I’m sure that reservoir is non functional, it’s just for aesthetics
You can’t really get an idea how they work unless they’re on the bike
theyd have to be crap you still get what you pay for
I believe there Japan made not Chinese
