look up gazi. i have had a set for 18mths and no leaks. perform great. same shocks on a lot of sidecars and no leaks either. had other shocks bought in oz and blew out after 6mths as have others i have seen. then its $90 for 2 seals! gazi is half the price and twice the quality. remote res alloy body rebound and compression adjustment  $810.00. a bargain

The Gazi's arent legal for pre 75 on a CR with the remote reservoir and I dont think they make ones 360mm long which is what they are on the Honda.....I can sell you a set of Works Performance shocks set up to suit you for about $500 with adj spring preload....they have been around for years and are proven....best bang for your buck so to speak!!!....pm me if your want more info.

sorry Wasp - I had a set of Works Performance - found them a bit improvement over what was on the bike (Konis) and around $500 delivered to the door.

radial piston with shims to adjust if needed , 50 micron polished 36mm  steel bore for long life and very low friction, custom made in Australia and of course fully rebuildable .  ;)  Available from 15th of July .

but Works performance have a bleed and 3 ball bearing with springs that get softer with use so that you automatically get softer dampening as you get older. ;D

I have a set of works performance on my flattrack bike. I got them off ebay for $240. I revalved them to suit myself as I couldn't find anyone in Aus that wanted to do it!! I added shrader valves while I was at it to make them easierv to regas! They are emulsion and seem to work quite well.
