    Name these shocks

    I am certain that someone will recognize the logo?
    They are currently on my '81 GS850G.







    Thanks for any help.

    Those look to be MDI shocks. I have the same kind on my 1100.

      Hi,

      Yes, those are sold as MDI or EMGO parts for not a lot of money. I have a pair on my 850. They are pretty dang stiff but better than my 30 year old worn out stock shocks. Hopefully my kidneys won't explode before I can save up for some new shocks.

      EDIT: I was going to say, "Fred".

      Thank you for your indulgence,

          Thanks to both of you!
          I could never make out the logo as I had never heard of them in almost 40 years of this stuff.
          I just knew for a fact that they were stiff and definitely not stock when I bought the bike.
          Not bad for 2-up on the lightest setting.
          Our combined weight is under 300 pounds. (Not a bad thing at all.)
