Shocks with no springs?? was created by 79MKII
No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationThese shocks look great and are really low too. The part I don't understand is how they can work with no springs? Are there internal springs? High pressure?? How would these hold up a motorcycle?

They're probably not much different than usd forks, just shrunk down.

Look like adjustable air shocks to me, particularly with those fittings on the ends. What brand are they?

No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationI can't find any info on the brand, but they're back on ebay with a starting bid of $19.99. I'm guessing internal springs just like a front fork, as was mentioned. They would look really cool on a KZ.
