Best m/c shock I've ever had are Konis. Too bad they are no longer making shocks for motorcycles.

Just an observation from your pics. Are the shocks mounted upside down? Should the piston come up out of the body not down out of the body? Might seriously affect the shocks performance. Ignore me if I'm mistaken.

sure, one can pay more for better ones, but for a bit over 500 bucks, the 444's were a great improvement over stock on my low rider. also if you need tech support during working hours, a live person answers the phone, I am very satisfied with them.
