Anyone have experience with these shocks off eBay?

I haven't used them.  I checked out their sight, lots of shocks to choose from.  They don't look like they have a lot of travel with the long mounts.

Only 2.5" of shaft travel, not many bikes they would work on.

Mick if you're looking for a shock to ride or race on then I would look for a basic pair of Koni shocks that are rebuildable and work well. In a way they are "wear" adjustable so you can stiffen them up if needed. Something like these would work.

I had reservations about the shocks to begin with, just was wondering.  I need some 13 to 13.5 inch shocks for my '73 JP.
