    The description says they will fit.
    They also provide dimensions that you can cross reference to verify the fit.
    If you trust that and are comfortable dealing with a relatively anonymous seller/ shipper- than go ahead and save yourself 50%.

    Once (and only once) I found a source for some parts and decided to save a couple $$$$ instead of using Chacal. The pain in my arse from that nightmare still lingers .. .
    Chacal will get you the right stuff in a VERY timely manner, and he offers great technical support.

    For me, piece of mind and GREAT customer service is worth a few dollars more.

    P.S. for the record I am one shallow pocketed, penny pinching, cheap bastard - I always want to save some money. . . But I also like to have minimal downtime on my bike waiting for parts/ sending back parts that don't fit, etc. This gets justified fiscally because my other vehicle is a 95 F150 that gets 13 mpg. The money I save on gas, with the XJ in commission, eases my pocket book.

    I have a set that I will sell you for $35 shippedin the USA. They are Vesrah for the XJ700, brand new in package. I ordered EBC for a Virago and they sent the wrong ones so I used them on my XJ700, then my Vesrah came in so I have an extra set. PM me if interested.

    And the bold text above illustrates why it is wise to shop at XJ4Ever. :wink:

    Be sure you track down some new springs too. You don't want to chance a loop breaking off one of the original ones (common.)

    EBC shoes come with new springs.
