They probably <could> be used, but you would likely regret every dime you spent on them.
Why not save up a bit longer and get some GOOD shocks?
Z1 Enterprises sells Hagon for about $240 or Progressive for about $280.
Before ordering directly from either one of those links, call Z1 to make sure they have the correct spring available for your bike and your weight.

those are RFY shocks. You might search this forum for "RFY" but there are reviews online. Mostly it's mid-range bikes that use them at all.Originally posted by bigbabee View Post
So, if you are keen, at least compare your weight to the reviewed cases- They might be a little light for yours and assuming the damper works, you might find yourself adjusting them too much...Comment
