Kinda looks like a HD soft tail shock.. Is it spring or air? where does the line go?

[Seana23]

Hi there, they are air filled (with oil) they had rubber boots but they perished. The pipe come out near the top and goes into the other shock...

Might be the stock ones off the GK?

They look very similar to the GS1000E air shocks fitted to some 1979 bikes, except that the E shocks are eye to fork and those are eye to eye. They were far more common on the continent.

I'm therefore guessing that they are European spec GS1000G shocks, but I can't recall seeing a G fitted with that design.

Kawasaki ZX750GT P3............... shaft drive kawasaki's had them, very good suspenders for their type and style. Usually died due to overpressure from gas station air supply or failure to service and change oil at least once a decade

The ones fitted over here were similar but the tops were a lot longer.
