I think a member RoyNor bought a set of these for his GPZ project, If I remember right he was fairly impressed with the quality for the $. I don't think he has had them out on the street though as his project is not quite finished. There may be a few more members on here that bought them also, check out RoyNor's thread in the projects section (16 pgs long or so. Doug

I bought a set of these exact shocks(different color)for my 1000 last year. They are adjustable from 11.5-12 in. without the additional brackets that come with the shocks. The brackets add 1-1.5 in. While being stiffer, they got rid of that irritating "squirm" when exiting the driveway or gas station. The instuctions say you can run these empty, with air or with nitrogen. 3-4 bar of pressure (1 bar = 14.5 psi). I am currently running with air but am going to fill w/ nitrogen this winter. I also had to turn them around so the piggy back is in front because of clearance with the rear caliper. I have mine set at 12" which is exactly the height I wanted however I do get a rare rub between tire and fender (unavoidable potholes). I did not lower the front and do not feel any handling differences that way.

They are stiffer, but I like that better than the mushy stock shocks. I'm 47 and at this point my back can still take it. May need to "mush" things up in the future tho' lol. I figured I got what I paid for and have no idea what "good" shocks are like and these seem to work just fine for what I wanted.

Wow that's cheap! I think i'll have to get a pair soon.
Will they fit on my bike?

they look nice

they really good and that price is incredible now if they only work as good as they look. do they have springs with different rates available as well.

That's what I'd like to know,so if anyone HAS installed them on their KZ,please reply,ok.

Please do!
And could you post some pics of them...close-ups if yo can,in detail?

Yes Quader98, I'd be interested in a review on them also. The Ohlins PCRL piggybacks (been eyeballing them for some time now, bank says no, lol) have gone up @ $100-$200 which puts them well over a grand :blink: . The Works piggyback look nice also @ $900.

ooops here are the Works.
