Nice job bike looks good, struts remove weight from the bike. Struts on the front help the bike not wheelie because shocks with sag will make the front lighter until all the sag is out and the weight of the wheels is encountered.
Rear struts transfer more chassis energy to the rear wheels than a shock that dampens some this energy.
make sure you have enough adjustment in the rear strut to adjust the rear swing arm angle, if the bike wheelies to much level the angle of the swing arm to control wheelies. You can also lower the front suspension to help with this also

You can make them fairly cheaply.
I ordered heims from Mcmaster and had the aluminum around. Cut to length, drill, tap and wallah. You got some struts.
