Where to find new shocks?

Post by hoghungry1 »

I really dont want those red ones I see on ebay.

Mine are pretty crusty, chrome is shot. I will paint them if I have to but can you guys help?

The Apex or whatever new head pipes are poor quality. Shoulda known for fifty bucks.

Lousy bending, actually ugly, (I bend pipe for a living as an electrican) and the fitment at the heads is gonna take some work.

Ah well...

I found that it is a waiting game. Sometimes you can find nice shocks but it is when they come up. I have rebuilt beat up shocks, they do come apart, rechrome the bottoms, repaint the tops, refinish the aluminum and put them back together.

I actually have a (1)new old stock shock. I too am looking for a rebuildable single or pair.
