Recommendations for rear suspension.....

Tonup76
Live in Pgh, so I won't be doing much riding this winter.  I'm going to put some time/$ into my bike.  I'd like to replace the rear shocks/suspension and was looking for some help as to what some of you would recomend.  I'm a big guy, over 200lbs but under 250lbs.  I've been all over ebay looking at stuff but I don't know enough to make a solid decision.  I've got a 1973 cb750 four, with a cafe setup.  Also, my budget is kinda tight so I'm not looking to spend more than say, $300.  Thanks yinz guys.

Ohlins are the best, but are worth about as much as these bikes...LOL.

These look pretty good...I'm going to get a set for my DOHC this winter as well.  Haven't ridden them on these bikes, but have on a sportster and they made a huge difference.  Progressive fork springs designed for your weight are recommended as well.

On their site it only looks like they make them for 1980 and newer, I've got a 73.  Any other suggestions?
