I'm running a set of modified front friction shocks on the rear of my speedster
Purdy, I just checked these Offenhauser Nostalgia Friction Shocks out on the Speedway site. At $100/pair, they deserve consideration, but how much work did it require to fit them to your speedster? And could the same be fitted to an otherwise stock A?

Got any photos of yours (front and rear) that you could share here?
