I'm confused about these Progressive shocks...

[Road_Clam]

How is it these Progressive shocks fit an '83 GS1100, yet my shocks use a "clevis" style lower mount?? Is there some type of adapter to get the lower eyelet style to fit the GS swingarm? Thanks,

Are these used shocks? These will probably fit a "G" shaft drive model but not your "E" chain model.

I haven't seen any adapters at all, much less anything that might work. Seems like more trouble than it's worth. Eye-to-Clevis shocks are readily available, new and used, so just get the right shocks to fit your bike.

Yup, thats what they fit..... a "G" shaft drive bike. The G models use a lower "eyelet" style shock, not a clevis style as is my E model. Thanks,

I have a set of these on my 1100 E and they are nice shocks.

I'm not trying to be an opportunist but if you bought these not knowing they would fit your bike and want to sell them let me know. I have an 850G project bike that needs a pair of shocks.
