Please help me ID these Kawasaki Air Shocks

[exdirtbiker]

They have NO PART # anywhere on them.
I just bought them from fleabay, and in a fit of stupidity, I didn't make sure they weren't blown out before buying.
I didn't even check to see if the eyes were the same size. ( they are not).
The band of graphics around the top says "/// Air Suspension //// "

I swear, there was no alcohol involved in the decision to click the "buy it now"

I was fairly certain, but checked BikeBandit's site anyway, they're Spectre ZN1100 air shocks, the ones you have are missing the boots-they substitute their own stock #, but they have a prefix of 44003, no suffix #, listed as 'backordered' @$400. each, and they're left and right for the air fitting/hose arrangement. Further checking with Powersports Warehouse reveals same prefix, and 1535/1536 suffixes, and N/A as well, which is more like being honest.

Thank you !

Off of a Spectre would have been my guess too, due to the gold color of the bodies and Kawasaki had equipped them with rear air shocks.

Thanks Grana, but my air fittings are on top, yours are on the sides.

[exdirtbiker]

Thanks again guys...
OK, I googled for Spectre pics, and I think you are correct.
then looked up 82 1100 and 750 Spectre parts 'fiche..
both use the same shocks, most everything "unavailable".
I would like to try and refill them and see how they work.

- these are not the same as mine, but I suspect they are darn close enough... http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=381537

I am not going to mess with these... the seller gave a prompt refund, and didn't ask for them back.
Sooooo.... anyone want them ? Free (you pay shipping), but I have to say, I don't think they would be good for any GS. I test fitted them, and I think there is not enough stroke, at least when compared to the Konis.
if you search for "1981 Suzuki GS1100E Rear Shock Set" in "completed listings", you will find their ad on ebay.

Don't chuck them away. I have a pair that came from a Kwak GT750 that did sterling service on my '80 GS for years and were still on it until last year, but a mahoosive pothole blew out both seals. I discovered the ADV rebuild thread and will give re-sealing them a go. I've no need to re-valve them, as they were fine for support/springiness as they were. If I can find suitable seals locally for just a few quid, I'll be laughing. Indeed, I might pick up another set.
They're bloody good shocks and still fitted to the rear of many H-Ds as factory, to be replaced as 'not shiny/flashy/trendy enough' by owners. Result is, you can pick up nearly new ones for a few tens of bucks as the market is saturated from time to time. That's what I call a bargain.
