I.D these shocks....racer made???

i bought these on a low bid a few yrs back...and really there no info because the seller did not know bikes...

the tops look like S&W and so do the colors of the springs...i can see made written in english so i think if i tore em down it will say made in U.S.A


there are some valves and no caps or air valve stems ...the hole in the welded on threaded air valves are filled with silicone caulking...there is also a number shaky etched on them....anyone ever seen anything like this before...they look like they may have been cool shocks...

tops

brazed on....cant be wrenched off...nuts...valves..? wtf

numbers

any one...and would anyone think i should break em down and flush and cap the valves ...any help would be cool



they may end up on a thumper Road racer one day

I can see the S&W resemblance, but there appears to be a little home school engineering to them also. The spring connectors are different from what I've seen before, most are on the inside of the coil. The valves look to be added on also. I'd agree that if you pulled them apart you'd be able to get what you needed to rebuild them. You could probably get new spring connectors from Works, they still offer shocks with the two piece springs.

Over the last few years I've bought S&W, Monroe, Koni, Marzocchi, Works and Ohlins shocks from ebay sellers and none looked exactly like those.

thanks...that is what i think...no hurry but i was in the shop and the camera was there so i figured hmmmmm...wonder what the guys will guess on em.....

i took a tiny screw driver and tried to fish out some of what i thought was bearing type grease...turns out to be silicone caulk type material.......

they go on a conversation hack job twins racer.single racer...ect....may just hang em on the wall for art...


20.00 and no bids and i bit.........looked interesting...oh well......


i thought they might have been (and they still may be) the ones (type)guys flipped over and moved forward on top in the day......
