Welcome sir paulkdx220; i'm new here as well...

the shocks appear similar to the Fox Racing "FoxShox" superbike shocks of the late '70's - early '80's; but the color is not like i have ever seen (repainted?). IIRC they had metallic red bodies with metallic blue and white double-rate stacked springs.

they are rebuildable BTW. see Thor Lawson's site here

The pipe appears to be a Bassani Superbike unit. both are very desirable items (green with envy).

thanks, garagepunkfan.

i let the shocks go with a parts bike i just sold. they were waaaay to soft. i am using stockers which seem to do fine.

i have kept the pipe. it sounds awesome and looks super cool. i'd like to dyno this puppy just for fun... also i have just recently put on a set of vm29 carbs.

The shocks do look like Fox brand, agreed.
The pipe could be one of many - need to see the pipes at the exhaust flange or heads to see if they have the Bassanin trademark quick removal feature. If they don't have that, it could be an early Yosh, V&H, Supertrapp...
