  • What kind of shocks are these?

    http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=35592

    They've gone through e-bay once and didn't sell. Can they actually fit an XS??

    Those look like S&W shocks. I know S&W made them for the XS I don't know about those particular shocks. Email the seller and ask for dimensions (length, diameter of the boltholes -one lower bolthole should be larger than the other-). Compare to your existing shocks.
    Remember, you're replacing 25 year-old shocks with another set of 25 year-old shocks. Used shocks off Ebay might be worse than what you already have.

      Thanks Pat. I was hoping that they were newer.

        I won't bid against you since you brought them up but if the shipping isn't too high. Even at 25 years old, they're probably 10x better than stock.

          I have them on my watch list. I'll e-mail the seller again to try and get the dimensions out of him.

          Thanks Geezer! But if you need them more than I do, let me know!

            The only consern is if they're leaking. Besure and ask. Odds are if they're not leaking you'll get more than your money's worth out of them.
