Rear shock absorber leaking

I am not sure if they are the originals, because they are all chromed, maybe someone would know if they came with chromed out shocks or not. In either case, are they rebuildable? Or should I just change it/them?
Just when everything was going soooo well! What will it be next?!

I switched to Hagon shocks on my 77KZ650C1 and I really like them....

Did you have any trouble with fit on your KZ? I seem to remember that Z1Enterprises was going to carry Hagons' but Jeff decided there were fitment issues with some bikes and opted out of them.

PRODUCT ID = HA S33007; DESCRIPTION = 33020 Custom SS KZ650C1; 20KG WIDE CH 14X24 10X19
PRODUCT ID = HA SCFBT; DESCRIPTION = CLASSIC I TOP SHROUD SS FB; ALLOY ADJUSTERS
If you're thinking of buying these, call Dave Quinn (203-393-2651). He will discuss the type of riding you do, you and your passenger and accessories weight, etc. and help you pick the best spring rate for your particular needs. He is a really nice guy and knows more about shocks than anyyone I've ever met. Good luck, Ed

And another question, how long do you guys think I can go with that one shock leaking? I guess it could twist harm the frame?:huh:
