I fitted the OEM Boge ones sourced from Jagdaim at around $100 each. And easy to fit at home.
They seem to work well!

Might be worth getting a quote from Doug Findlay at Jagdaim, their shipping costs are reasonable.

They cost $363 for 4 shocks and $20 for shipping from Melbourne to Brisbane.
The exchange rate is 98c Aus to $1 NZ at the moment

Whew!!!


I briefly contemplated new front shocks for my 83. I've not checked Rock Auto for pricing. I would expect way less. But, OTH, I always underestimate.
