"RT side luggage compartment cover shock absorber"
Someone had started asking about this but pulled their thread. They had been asking about a 'gas strut' for their wife, which got some humorous comments, including mine. But, once we figured out what part they were talking about and prepared to answer seriously the thread got pulled.
Anyway, I think the question itself is a valid one in that there are many parts on the Spyder that are generic and don't have to be replaced with an expensive OEM part and this is one.
Does anyone know what the specs are for these struts / shock absorber, so we can maybe cross-reference with after-market units and have this as a reference in the future?
Thanks.

All the shocks do have a original manufacturer part number on them.
They usually have the original manufacturer name as well.
For instance, here is the rear trunk shock:

That gave me the idea of taking a picture of the side compartment shock and here it is. side compartment shock.jpg
Suspa Part number is C16-27720 and it's $95 from them https://shop.suspa.com/c16-27720-gas-spring-p4722.aspx but only $22 from amazon https://www.amazon.com/Suspa-C16-080.../dp/B0041EBSX4
A thread on this forum from 2013 called 'gas strut spring' had this info;

10.8" compressed, 17.7" extended
18 Lbs. of force
