Rare? "Magnum" progressive shocks rebuild? was created by Algoe

Hoping yall could point me in the right direction of someone who rebuilds old shocks. I already contacted progressive and they dont have a rebuild kit for me.
I tossed a set of hagons on to get me through the rest of riding season. But i really dig the look of these.

I knew something was off when i was riding her, but I would've never guessed it was this bad!

Those shocks are not rebuildable other than cosmetically.

I went there to get a set of Ikons for my '77 KZ650 frame. I expected that he would have to order them. Surprise! He had a set on the shelf! Even put a spacer in to compensate for my weight. A stand up guy. Lots of restorations going on in the small shop.

I don't have a plan and I'm sticken' to it! '77 KZ 650 / 750 GPz custom project in progress

If restocycle can't help you, you might be able to just buy some new progressive 12-series shocks and swap over your springs and hardware. They come without springs anyway.

I have some 12-series shocks off of the bike and can make some measurements if you need them.
