I noticed a smear of oil leaking from my original shocks that hold up the engine cover so decided to have a look around and see if i could find a replacement and change to gas, I ordered these from Ebay they are great and work really well, You loose about 1 inch in opening distance but that's not even noticeable, They didn't come with the bottom connector so ask them to include a pair of spare connectors or you can do what i did and slightly drill out the original connector and as it's plastic the new metal thread on the shock makes it's own thread and fits nice and tight, Less than $20 for the pair and free shipping.
