I'm a bit of a junkie for early aftermarket accessories and I thought I'd seen everything until these Boge shocks came up. I wonder if they're genuine factory items, some obscure aftermarket kit similar to Poppy Konis or if they're the product of a long forgotten backyard engineering genius. Cool items for those who insist that everything in their bike being period correct.

Up for auction is a set of Boge shocks that have been specially modified with piggy back reservoirs from a 1974 Suzuki TM400, Auction is for the Shocks only. Shafts are good condition, no pitting and don't seem to leak, I have not rode the bike more than down the street so I cannot say for sure. But they are rebuildable and rebuild kits are on ebay. You can see that the bike is VERY low time If see a part you want please let me know.

The way I read the ad is that someone who knew what they were doing modified them, not sure whether that would make them aftermarket or one off

Those would look good on the Kawa Bighorn MX....
