I want to replace my factory rusted rear shocks for newer ones.
Does Kimpex make some, or any other brands ????

I run Polaris style kimpex rear centre coil over shocks on my '75 T/T and also put a set on my buddy's '76 T/T. They really smooth out the ride. These shocks were used for many years on Indy's and many other Polaris models. The only thing I had to do was drill out the bolt hole size on the shocks to 7/16" from 3/8". These shocks are a little longer, I use a cam lock tie down strap to reinstall the rear suspension. Stand on suspension to compress it and tighten strap leaving cross shaft loose. Once installed cut strap at hook remove and tie hook back on. Jeff
