I bought the Lead Wing shocks from "Progressive" and they came with all the required sleeves and shims to mount them.


That's probably the route I'll take as it's hard to find used black shocks on e-bay. What length are yours? Is that the KZ chain guard?

You can also have a shop weld a mount on the GS swingarm to accept the KZ shocks. No length problem and several shocks to choose from.

The Progressive shocks are #12-1205B 14". They put the bike at the perfect height. They have different springs for the shocks dependent on the weight of the bike and how stiff you like it.:lol: You can go to Progressive directly or buy them at Bikebandit.com The chain guard is the one from the CSR but I did not wind up using it. I got one from a Zephyr which was nicer.
