ebay rear shocks?

Hi guys are these ebay $80-$120 rear shocks any good at all?

I'm looking for something "pretier" for my kz750p but don't want to risk my life either.

i can possibly get some XJR1200 ohlins rears, but they're 325mm eye to eye and I'm shooting for something taller in the rear. 340-360mm or so.

Link?

Notice the location....

Guangzhou, China

Haha

Ok looking at the YSS and Progressive stuff. Looks fairly decent. YSS reviews are good too.

I have used the RFY shocks before on a build. Actually a lot better than I expected. Fully adjustable and come with different size eyelet. and the anodizing held up quit well in the AZ sun.

There is nothing wrong with RFY shocks but not stock from China. They use crap oil and cannot ship them with Nitrogen. Here is a link to a guy that sells and rebuilds them.

Here is a thread from 9 months ago and should answer a lot of questions for you.

When it comes to suspension bits, you get what you pay for.

BINGO...!!! they are cheap shite, I know of a guy that had the bottom section break off one. I researched these a few years back, there used to be a blog that a guy had that went into a lot of detail about how to make these cheap shocks work well, including making a stainless bottom section to replace the cheap alloy bottom mount, that link is unfortunately now dead. I bought a set out of curiosity, just to see how good or bad they are, I got them off a Chinese site for a little more than $60 AUD shipped, I've seen them in bulk for as little as $16 USD each on the Chinese wholesale site "Alibaba" :huh: Cheap seals, cheap oil, cheap alloy, you do indeed get what you pay for.... I know a lot of us aren't rich but, Tires and suspension should be the best you can afford, its the only thing keeping us safely on the black stuff...

I've got about 600 miles on my RFY shocks rebuilt by Chris Livengood (CL MotoTech). Zero issues. The damping is excellent. I had Chris shorten the 380mm shocks down to 360mm, 120lb springs, and 7wt oil. All that for less than $300 shipped, including the price of the shocks. They look real good on the bike, too.

Once you get near the $300 range you can start looking at Hagon shocks. They work great! I've had mine for 9 years (15k + miles) and they still look and work like new. Ed

Good twin shocks are getting hard to find and / or expensive. I have different needs and expectations for my bikes - my really nice bikes are getting nothing but the best, but I also have a need sometimes for replacement shocks that are cheap and just good enough to keep the tire from rubbing on the fender....without being unsafe or unsuited to the bike, of course - you can go too low on the junk scale....

I tried the $100 Emgo replacements for the KZeverything a while back, I spent $100 too much for those....
