I like my shocks like I like my women. Cheap and Chinese.

No kidding? Where are you? I'll stop by!
Nice stable of "must have" bikes by the way! (82 Suzuki gs550m katana, 75 S3 400 kawasaki, 75 H1 500 kawasaki, 76 suzuki gt 500 , 70 kawasaki a7 350 avenger...).
The R5 is currently the only bike I own.

Classy looking machine...nicely done!
No...never really finished; always something else you want to do, unless you sell it.

Cheap Chinese RFY shocks? Really? Is the bike for static display only?
Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try Again. Fail again. Fail better.

Yes, cheap! $90 shipped. They actually work, although they are firm. Way better than the stock pogo sticks. At that price, it allowed me to continue throwing $$ at other things like bearings, seals, rims & rearsets. Down the road I'll do a proper upgrade. As noted, these things are never done.

Your exhaust flanges are leaking, if you didn't realize that already. Aside from that and the previously mentioned shock issue, it presents well.
I'm curious - not meaning to hijack but here it is - between the cheap Ohlins knock-offs and the cheap OEM shocks, which would you choose? Jimbo184 has already cast his vote. Note: there is no Door #3 option on this one ("you just save until you can afford good shocks"), if you're truly bucks-down, which way would you go?
I believe we have run out of trolls.
Very pretty bike!
I've never ridden on those RFY's, but there have been a few here that have rebuilt them. I've always wondered, without full disassembly and rebuild, if you just take them to a tire place and balance out the nitrogen, do they atleast feel better than OEM or NOS pogo sticks?
