Rear shocks needed

Im a bigger guy and these 30 + year old shocks are trash. I know they are pretty bad to begin with. Not trying to burn corners but will a ZRX shock fit up ? I had one and they looked close but never measured to see... Or at least anyone know if someone still makes reproduction factory ones. Someone removed the factory air shocks from mine and just put KZ900/1000 rear shocks on it.

Ive got my eye on some progressive shocks on eBay. Brand new. I bought the replica Z1's, they look nice but, yes, they're junk just like the old ones.

I apologize for the shameless plug here, but I'll have a nice set of shocks from a ZRX1100 for sale very shortly.
