I have some. The nitro setup is fake and there's to channel to the shock body.. Very bouncy, but better than my stock ones..

They look like the ones that came stock on my Hammerhead Platinum 150.

68mm working stroke. I'm guessing that's the travel they can move. So 2.75 inches. Not sure if that's good or bad, but don't sound like very much.

I have a set on my single seat challenger. They work great until they leak. They can be disassembled but parts to rebuild?

Thanks everyone. While they look cool I figured the quality was questionable. Being rebuildable but not finding parts doesn't help.

What's a decent front and rear shock that's readily available and not crazy expensive, that fits these 150cc 2 seater buggys? They don't even have to be a direct bolt on, I can fab relocated mounts if need be. What do you guys recommend?

The problem is shocks compliment the suspension. Weight, wheel base, track, total non binding arm movement all play into a shocks design. What may be great on an atv won't be so great on the buggy. Those shocks I put on the rear of my challenger did soften the ride but also hampered the handling on certain trails for they were too soft and would often bottom out making it worse on the back than the original shocks.
