rear shocks for R100
looking for some rear shocks for my 1979 R100. mine are all done, nothing left! I know there are many options out there... I am selling the bike so I am looking for something on the inexpensive side of things, but something that will work better than what I have now.

Re: rear shocks on '78 R100 bottomed out...
