I always have considered Boge dampers to be good.

My Spit had gas-pressurized (DeCarbon) shocks in the rear when I first got
it on the road.  They didn't leak either. 

But Spit Bits had new ones on sale, so I bought a pair.   The ride is more
controlled now, less bouncy.

Chris - I saved my old ones!
