I've got no personal experience with them, but a guy over on the GSR website recently put some of them on a Suzuki. Might give it a read and see what he says about them.
Don't be ridiculous! It's only a flesh wound!

look like a pair i just bought but mine are black and gold . still building my bike ,mine were 350mm and they were cheaper them them @ $105 made by a Rfy . sitting on my bike there very firm. but you can alter the pressure in them ,with the air valve. they have pre load adjusters and a ride height adjuster.you can extend out the bottom of the bottom eye .all in all for the money aint bad i think ...

i sent the guy from eBay a few questions.

"Dear tecbikeparts,

I have a few questions for you.
1. what is the shock length eye to eye? (actual question was are they available in 13.5" or 340mm for GSXR conversions
2. do you offer it with a clevis end.
3. Are they precharched nitrogen?
4. Are they filled with quality 10-15W oil? (just replied asking this question again)

Dear 77kz1000,

1. (will get back to you)
2. yes
3. yes
4.( unanswered)

There is also a write up on RFY and TEC shocks here.
If you want to buy the RFYs and have them rebuilt by Chris you can see his products HERE.
