    What is my shock from

    This doesn't match with my service manual. 13" length, 5 position pre-load & 4 position damper on top. The top mount is aluminum and the rest of the shock is/was chrome. My 77 GS750 didn't have adjustable dampers did it?

    If anyone knows, can it be rebuilt? or can only put new springs on it?

    Looks like an Ikon..

    Old Koni design made under license in Australia. Good stuff.
    Totally rebuildable.

      not sure looks like a oem shock maybe off a gs1000

      can we get a couple more pics, maybe where the damping rod slides into the body, are there 2 holes on the cap that the damping rod slides through?, no nothing stamped anywhere on the shock? usally koni maybe even ikon (i haven't checked mine) stamps their name.

        It looks like the stock shocks on my 78 1000. 78 is when Suzuki came out with the multi-adjustable shock.

            Nothing printed on the shock except for "05" right above the damper adjustment. There are no holes where the rod slides. I was thinking I could get away with just cleaning these up a bit & buying new Heavy Duty springs. It looks like no problem to put new springs on, but I don't see how I could do anything else. I've never had a shock apart, though.

                They're stock shocks. So do what chef1366 did -- throw them away.

                And replace them with Koni's (now re-manufactured under licence by IKON in New South Wales, Australia) -- website here.

                  i second this opinion. there are no dimples in the top by the damping rod then they are not rebuildable. depending on the riding you do, is rebound adjustablity important to you, if so go with the ikon if not go with progressive shocks and save a couple bucks.
