Rear shocks

[Lenz]

I have a 82 GS1100GK. Now that I finally have this old girl on the road I have discovered the rear shocks are bottoming out even with the lightest of passengers.
I have pumped the pressures up over the limit to 35 psi in each unit, with the settings wound up to number 4, but shocks still bottom out.
These appear to be the original set of shocks.
Can anyone recommend a better alternative. Considering the restrictive access to the shock in behind the pannier boxes.
I am down under in NZ.
Thanks in advance.

Can you get these where you live?

You would probably be okay with Progressive 12 series shocks and a heavy duty spring to compensate for the extra weight of the bike. You would not need air if you use a heavy duty spring.

Since your in NZ you should be able to get a good deal on Ikons as the shipping will not be as bad - they are located in australia.
