'81 front Shocks
My '81 is probably stock. Def nothing special
What inexpensive (cheap) options are out there?
Height is ok as she sits, You see I gots the rear where I like it
If those springs are 40 yrs old, and nothing special to start with...
And I'm not looking to put a GXR front on, just help the old one be better.
Thanks
And I'll keep the gators (gaiters)

I added a set of Progressive Suspension springs on my 1980. It restored some front fork height and made a very noticeable ride difference over the worn out factory springs.
