Rear Shocks for my '78 KZ1000A2

I'm looking to replace the rear shocks on a 1978 KZ 1000A2 I just picked up. I weigh 195. Used to race so I will ride aggressively from time to time, but most of my riding will be just cruising around. Will throw the wife (115lbs) on the back once in a while.

What do you guys recommend for a good replacement set?

Thanks.

Progressive suspension has what you will need. They also have great customer service.

Speed, search Ebay if you've the time, S&w or Boge Mulhullen show up time to time. If pressed, go direct to Progressive Suspension. They're reasonable and I understand customer service is excellent. for a man of substance/riding double would rec. shocks w/primary/2ndary springs. IE buffered 2 springs per shock. many knock-offs avail. but no personal exp.luck g

I 2nd it. Progressive Suspension is the ticket. Tell them what you want, plug in the numbers and they will hook you up.

You guys are great. Thanks for the advice.

Another really good option is Hagon shocks. I put a pair on my KZ650 a couple years ago and they're great. They are every bit as good as the S&W I had on it. They come in a bunch of different styles (mine are stainless steel). Dave Quinn (see link) will set yours up specifically for your riding style, weight, etc.
