Part: Honda SL350K1 / SL350K2 / CB750K / CB750F Factory Style Rear Shock - Sold in Pairs
Why You Need This: After decades of service and long miles on the road the shock absorbers of your vintage Honda SL350K1 / SL350K2 / CB750F are probably quite beat. The oil in the damper is most likely long gone and the springs have worn out to the point where you are bouncing down the road. Lucky for you, we have been able to find some factory-style rare shocks for your Honda that will not only look factory-correct, but will significantly improve the ride quality of your SL350K1&K2 / CB750K1 / CB750K2 / CB750K3 / CB750K4 / CB750K5 / CB750F. The shocks feature a standard spring-preload adjuster and measure 13.2" (335 mm) in length.
While you are working on installing the new set of shocks on your Honda SL350K1&K2 / CB750F, you should also change the fork oil and add a fresh set of fork seals, you'll be hugging the curves in no time.
If you're a heavier rider or simply looking to upgrade your suspension try a pair of fully adjustable, fully rebuild-able Ikon Performance Shocks.
Note: These rear shock absorbers do fit the Honda CB750K3&K4 series of motorcycles but the spring is a bit lighter than on the original factory shocks. The preload might need to be set up for optimal performance.
Installation Tip: Knock out the metal spacer in the upper rubber bushing it will not be used. Lubricate the rubber bushing with some bearing grease to help it slide on the frame mount. Pay attention to the spring pre-load when riding two-up. Proper spring preload can be determined when sitting on the bike. 20 to 30% of the shocks travel distance should compress when sitting on the bike. Travel distance is determined from the bottom of the rubber bumper on the chrome shock tube (viewed inside the spring) and the piston seal on the lower body tube.
