hi guys im after some new shocks for my 85surf so if anyone could help me out would be good but want it cheap if thats possible.

an can i still drive it with out rear shocks till i get new one all round.

Had car checked an its got a 2"lift so shocks to suit would be good.

I've attached pics of my shocks witch i broke today out having fun.

cheers shane

looks like you need some longer shocks.

driving without shocks, dangerous. If you can't get your chosen shocks right away and you need to drive the car just go to the wreckers and buy some second hand shocks to keep you on the road
