No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationI don't know, but to my eye the Zephyr shocks look fat at the bottom, so they may interfere w the chain guard or etc. Is your bike an Ltd or 550A Standard or something else?

These might be suitable for a 550. He has a number of different sets listed.

The shocks that Martin _ car mentioned are okay but I recommend changing the oil in them to some 10W and filling chamber with nitrogen. If you do not have the ability to do so I k ow someone that sells those shocks and offers a rebuild on them for $75. PM me if you need the information. They will also work on the KZ750

I got my zephyr piggyback shocks today. They fit right in. They might interfere with the chain guard but I don't use it anyway.
