I remember on my old 70's 250 kawasaki one of the first things I did was to upgrade at that time period to Koni shocks and I would think you could measure and match a set up but it wouldn't be cheap.

A guy at work had an old Husky bike. It had dual rear shocks. He call Works performance and they made him a set. It would be costly, but could be worth it.

I'd do a Google or Yahoo search for used motorcycle parts. There may be some Works, Koni, Fox or whatever shocks that would fit lying around somewhere on a wrecked or parts bike. They might be willing to make a deal for something like that (a non-stock part that only fits obsolete machines).

So,,,basicly there is nothing I can do with the stockers. Just better off to replace, huh?
