These are new shocks that have never been ridden. It is possible they could have minor cosmetic blemishes from being stored and moved around. I inspected several shocks and did not see any cosmetic damage but I am listing it as a disclaimer. Stanchions will be free of any damage and the shocks will function as it should. Please see the tuning info on the photos above to verify this will fit/work your bike before purchasing as there will be no returns accepted.
