Those shocks are probably made by Betor (possible other companies). You can get the plastic bushings new from Black Widow Motorsports if you need new ones. Betor shocks were used on Rupp's, parts are still available for them.

lapped a patch on the inside of shroud to cover primer holes and brazed them up,bolted recoil on and lots of wet rags to stop warping didnt help had to work it out with hammer and dolly didnt come out well because of lapped patch and it stretched in the middle and would oil can back and forth had to shrink it three times to get it out,next time will do it differently,polished up parts for chrome and dropped them off also polished intake

What did the motor come from? Thanks for sharing how the shocks break down, that's great info from you and Danford. The bike is looking great!
