Shockabsorber refurbishment

Gents, would anyone know of a company that could refurb the SW shockabosrbers that are fitted to my Z1B. It has a non standard modified swingarm (think it is off a GS1000) so that a wider rear wheel could be fitted to cope with the 100bhp it kicks out at the back wheel. They are shorter than the standard Kawasaki ones and have a different bottom fixing. I have tried to match them up but can't find anything the same. Therefore looking to have the existing ones refurbished instead even though they effectively collapsed on me when I was doing 70mph! The underside of the mudguard dug into the tyre and created a nice plume of smoke :shock:

They are only in Birmingham so I could take them along and they might be able to match them up.

Many thanks for the link
