BIG DOG: steering damper question

Good day all.
I was pondering the cost of a steering damper $97 then wondered if there would be any reason those could not be replace with bicycle shocks which are about $12 each?
(obviously need investigate the length etc but they are very close and mounting is same-ish)

My Big Dog is an old dog so I don't want to throw a lot of money at it even though it is a great machine ( just replaced engine from a donor Hustler so power is new)

Model number and serial number of the mower would be helpful.
 
Most steering dampers are made by Stabilus. You may be able to cross the part numbers.
I certainly wouldn’t substitute a bicycle shock.
