Benelli shocks are almost the same shock except for the slight taper at the bottom of the shock. Check these out:

I'm running a set on my Taco 99.
They are an inch longer, and slightly larger in diameter than the "Taco" shocks. They also dismantle by compressing and sliding out the keepers, instead of unthreading. They also have larger eyes so you have to make new bushings so the Taco mounting bolts fit snug. But the price is right. :thumbsup:
If you want those, I have my spare set available for $40 shipped.
Identical set on my Taco 99 to show size.

More info for my growing Taco knowledge. :thumbsup:
Appreciate the offer Dave, those look to be in good condition.
I've owned this 44 since it was new so I'm going to try and find original shocks if at all possible. I might have to buy a whole damn bike just to get the few parts I'm missing. :scared:
