No, I don't have shocks for you. The good news is that almost any old baffed out shock that will fit, will work just fine. The preloaded rubbers in the droop limiters handle most of the forces in the rebound direction. In 87, I had a killer season with my D-13, winning a bunch of races and running top-ten at the Runoffs ..... with mismatched shocks of different valving and lengthes. IMO, the shocks on a D-13 are not doing much more than holding the springs in place.
PS ... D-13s were considered old, big, and outdated even then!
