    if you need replacement rear shocks take a look at jbs. japbike spares is in brisbane and sells on ebay both local and international.google their website as is cheaper than ebay for item and postage. very helpfull and QUICK.obviously not original equipment but neither is the price.many adjustment and the gas ones have a valve to recharge.am i impressed..... yep. kiffsta bought some for phil, murdo put some on a small kwacks and i now have a set on a 750 honda.price varies for different bikes.honda quoted me 1250$ and jbs charged 162$ including freight. they look good and when bike has plastics repaired will ride and inform.am very happy so far.

    Fitted mine to the 'small Kwaka' (Ke175 trailie) and they are well chromed and powdercoated. Feel a bit tight yet and a run through some rough stuff should free them nicely. They are almost identical to the originals and are nice to have at last to finish off the resto. Mine were $104 delivered by courier.

    How are these shocks performing after a few months use? I'm looking at a pair for my zeal.

    if they do not advertise what you want give them a ring with shock length and eye sizes and they will adjust something close. i bought because honda wanted 1200$ for my bikes shocks.jbs were much more reasonable.

    To the guys who bought a JBS shock for their MC22, do you mind if i ask what the dimensions were? From some googling im hearing it may be 280mm eye to eye? Thanks in advance :)
