Help with shocks

[mac013]

I just recently purchased a 1983 Honda CT70 which to my surprise was in pretty good shape. Anyway, I've started my restoration when I noticed that the pipe was pushed into the right rear shock. The shock is bent and it appears both shocks are pretty much pooched! Question: What shocks do you guys recommend to replace the stock ones. I am about 230lbs. I realize the stock shocks are too soft so I'm looking for an improvement.

It all depends on if you're going for a full restoration or a restomod. You can get heavy duty shocks that are all chrome and will accept the shock cover caps. I think my buddy hornetgod might still have his that he might be willing to sell you? YOu'll have to check with him though. THere is just so many options when it comes to rear shocks.

I do have a set of heavy duty chrome rear shocks. I can even include a set of bead blasted shock caps as well. The shock caps are not perfect but, are pretty close. Let me know if you're interested. I can take pictures.

Thanks guys. I'm looking to do more of a restomod. I'd like some shocks that perform well and fit the bike. I don't need the shock covers so any ideas anyone has on a good shock setup would be great. Experience with any product from members would be appreciated.

The ones hornetgod has look great if you're doing a restomod and they won't break the bank.
