I don't have any pictures but I just got done putting a set on my bird. If you follow the instructions the installation is very straight foward.  A couple of pointers: There will be some side to side movement on both the upper and lower attach bolt for free movment on compression.  Once installed and before the retract test, bonce the plane to get some compression and extension on the shocks.  Then manually push the gear into the well to check for clearence.   If you did not get the length exactly right the manual cycle will allow you to correct the problem without causing any damage.  The shock will be at full extension when it retracks into the well.
 
I think you will love them.  I will try and get some pictures next trip to the airport.
 
Good Luck

  Does anyone have some clear photos they can post of the TK-5 bongers
  (installed), or in my case perhaps, bangers, so I can use them for the
  imminent installation of same?
