No, they are from Legend Motorcycles. Nice price too currently at £58.45 can't really lose!  ;D

My shockers have a chromed shield on the top section - not sure if they are original or have been replaced in the past mine is a 1978(S) plated version.

I had a pair like that on mine when I first got her, but like many other parts they needed changing. This her from the we-sell-classic-bikes site. They are not original no, but if you like them you can get a pair on Ebay. Don't like them myself.

These are mine are they not an original design?

Beautiful customising! But no not original shocks. Here is Honda's own pic (?) of the model.  OK, that is the USA model but see the CMSL diagram....ditto!

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
This is what threw me, mine are working ok so only if they leak or fail will I change them for more genuine looking ones. This seller specifies 317 mm pin/fork as opposed to 315 mm for the more original looking ones.
