HAMMER HEAD RACE SHOCKS

These beautiful cast aluminum RedWing shocks are period right for street trackers, cafe bikes, vintage flat trackers and vintage MX racers. They add a novel, vintage look to your project bike. These are NOS (new old stock) products made 25 years ago in Japan. And yes, the price is for a pair. The damper rods are a thick, 1/2" in diameter to handle abuse. These eye-to-eye shocks are re-buildable. The supply of some components is now exhausted so we purchased contemporary parts to keep these old shocks available. At some point in the future, we will no longer be able to sell these shocks because the supply will just run out. Shocks come with spacers.

The reservoir on hammer head shocks is at the bottom, not the top. You need to see if your chain guard will allow clearance for this shock. The body of the shock is 2" wide and the springs are 2 1/4" wide. So measure 1" in from the center line of your existing shock-is your chain guard within that dimension? If it is, modify your chain guard or order our Street Tracker shocks.

Another little warning-some swing arms with long tapered shock mounts (like Maico) may contact the bottom of the reservoir. In this situation you must relieve the swing arm for clearance.


13 3/8" NOS RedWing eye-to-eye Hammerheads $190.00

Built-in reservoirs on the bottom hold 4.44 oz or 148cc of oil. This is more than a standard shock. The extra oil volume is cooled by the finned reservoir. The travel is 4.00" which is AHRMA friendly. Current spring choices (at this time) are;
  • 60/90 lb chrome progressive springs
  • 75 lb black single rate springs
  • 75/120 lb black progressive springs
  • 80/110 lb yellow progressive springs
  • 90/130 lb black progressive springs
14 1/4" NOS RedWing eye-to-eye Hammerheads $205.00

Built-in reservoirs on the bottom hold 4.71 oz or 157cc of oil. The travel is 4.13" which makes them technically AHRMA cheaters, okay in Evo classes. Current spring choices (at this time) are;
  • 60/90 lb chrome progressive springs
  • 75 lb black single rate springs
  • 70/100 lb white progressive springs
  • 80/110 lb yellow progressive springs
  • 110 lb black single rate springs
*Note - the white and yellow springs have been rattling around in their cartons for over 30 years, on boats, in warehouses and in trucks and the paint has been worn off opposite sides. You will want to have them blasted and repainted.
