    All new forum registrations must be activated via email before you have full access to the forum.

    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Can someone ID these?

They were on my 82 Katana 1000 when I bought it, but they have no markings whatsoever and I would like to get them rebuilt.....

Thanks!
 
My guess is Fox.

Those springs look like dual heavy duty Progressive. The shocks themselves????
 
Ed,

I guessed Fox as well, but I really have no idea. Any ideas as to where to get them serviced?

Thanks for the suggestions!
 
Those are Fox Street Shocks......I have a similar set on my bike as well. Best place to rebuild them is Thor Lawson's shop (even the Fox factory guys recommend him for the vintage stuff).

Do they feel 'sacked out'? If they aren't leaking oil, make sure they have proper air pressure (200psi) and try, before sending them off. Mine have not needed service as yet, being low mile, but I hear he does a good job.

They do leak a little oil, but don't feel mushy yet. Would like to get it taken care of before the shaft becomes scored or damaged any other way. Besides, who knows what they look like inside?

Thanks for the link, those prices seem pretty reasonable.
 
Great link for Thor Lawson's shop. I have 4 sets of vintage fox shocks and finding a parts source is wonderful to keep them alive.
 
If they are leaking, it's a safe bet they need attention. I'll probably send mine in too before too long, if I don't go with something else.

4 sets Old Colt?:eek: These are getting pretty hard to find, and fetch a lot of $$, esp the piggyback ones. Do let us know how you guys make out, in dealing with this shop.

Tony.
