KZ900 rear suspension

25 May 2007 09:36

Hey again, can anybody help me identify the type of rear shocks on my 900? Its a 1976 KZ900 and apparently the shocks were replaced in 1984. Any ideas? Thanks a lot.

Those are S&W shocks. The company changed it's name and now goes by Progressive.

Jiffy Pop is correct, they are S&W shocks. They were made by Monroe and were among the very best performance shocks available in the late 70's. I bought a pair for my KZ650 in '79 and they still work great (more than I can say for the originals which gave up after about 14k miles.) Yours look like new! Ed
