Thread: Looking for KO Rear Shocks

I am looking for help on where to get rear shocks for an KO.

If you're looking for stock replacements, they have been discontinued. Your best bet is Ebay but, only buy from a trusted seller. There is a lot of junk out there.

Thanks for the reply. I will keep trying.

I have a few sets, what color are you working with? I have a fairly nice set of saphire blue ones, $25 + shipping, have other colors also but not as nice, if you're painting, I could probably put together a mismatched set

I have allready painted the covers. The shocks just do not any cushion left in them. Like they are worn out. The chrome on the springs is rusty and would need to be re-chromed. Should I just have them re-chromed. My first rebuild, but have 3 more 70's and 3 more 50's to do.
Saw you picture of the car do you run it?

Alot of times you can dremel rust off and get a beautiful finish on shock coils...I did a set recently for a Rupp and it was amazing, they looked brand new. Thats if the rust has not gone through and is just bad surface rust.

Yeah thats my car, trying to get it back together right now, season starts real soon, MUCHO$$$$!! I'll see what I have with good springs , but bad covers, let you know. Another option, and one I always use is buy the DRATV heavy duty shocks and put your covers on them, 50% stronger and look pretty close to original, if you're not doing a100 point resto and plan to use your bike, alot nicer and new chrome! about $60 plus shipping

Everyone thanks for the help. Ordered a set from Beatrice and will put my covers on them.
