Shocks - rebuild or replace?

I have loaded my 500/4 up with 2 passengers and a sidecar, even then the pattern shocks handled fine. Not failed yet though 5 years un used in a damp shed pitted the damper rods so I do expect to replace them soon.

I have some repro shocks on a CB450 K3 that has been in storage for the past 8 years. They still work fine and look like new ;) ;) ;)

Any pattern shocks are better than the original

I'll keep these comments in mind - can't go too far wrong with a set of pattern shocks then.  I won't be a very fast rider either, and as for riding two up, my wife said she'll only get on it if I survive a few years first.  Nothing like a vote of confidence from the ones you love.
