Kurt,

Will the bike be ridden, and if so raced or just putted around?

If you plan to ride at anything but poking around in the yard, you need the Series 12 gas shocks, part number 12-1203B and spring number 03-1387B. However, while these shocks are original looking, they are not the most original looking, that would be the non-gas Series 14 shocks, part number 14-1283B and spring number 03-1321B. The Series 14 shocks look the most original of anything out there, although they dont offer the 13.5" anymore, only 13" and 12.5", but they can NOT be used for even moderate trail riding, they will blow the seal.

Kurt sorry about your shoulder. That stinks I know.  If you want something very original but perhaps not so effective/modern you could try searching ebay for "Koniking" who restores and sells Koni shocks.  Konis are what came on my 72 Jackpiner and my 74 Harescrambler.  I think before that Cerianis were OEM.  If you were to search this very forum for koni and ceriani shocks you will find a lot of info.  If you wanted to see photos you might check the photos section of the site especially the penton anniversary display photos because I think some very smart people here decided to line up the bikes in year order so you can find a few photos of your bike and year.  Good luck!!  John

Thanks for all the info guys.  I'll do some more research for sure before I buy them.  I've got plenty of time to do it!!!
