Source for Compartment Door Gas Struts

Does anyone have a good source for these compartment door spring/gas struts. 142569-02 and 142569-04. These ate 21.1" x 12.6" 67lbs struts.

Thanks for the recommendation but too much "Made in China" junk on Amazon these days. I learned my lesson trying to save a buck or two when buying ad-ons for my Harley.

hear you there, but most of the stuff is made in china today. measure the eye to eye oc then order from amazon. mine are now 3.5 years old and still working just fine. you can vary the lbs a bit as they weaken as they get older.

Comment reports these are 'the correct replacements' for a 2006 Horizon, for what it's worth:

I've used Suspa brand with great success. Not cheap, but also not made out of Chinesium.

Lubricate the shaft with white spray lithium grease every 6 months they will last a lot longer. Seals dry out inside.
