Those are aftermarket manufactured Koni brand & depending on the model i think they can be rebuilt...but it will be best to check it out a little more thoroughly...as far as availability of new parts,etc.

if you contact ikon and give them a picture and the part number they can tell you if they have the kit - they don't support some 70's era shocks but those look like they might be later.

Is IKON the brand name for KONI now ?

Yes, an Austrailian businessman bought out Koni and changed the name.
