HI,

Beside being upside down, does anyone know what they are?

Thanks,

They could be Marzocchi (SP) but they are usually red.

Looks like Marzocchi to me. I had a similar pair on my 1000. I never did figure out what they actually were from but I know I had to have the upper bushings bored out to fit the Kz shock stud.
