1983 Honda CB1000C · Shock Absorbers Buying guide

Compare mounting and adjustment, not just finish

The three selected rear-shock pairs are listed at 325mm with eye-to-eye mounting and four spring-preload positions. Check length, bushing dimensions, mount widths and clearances against the motorcycle before choosing a finish. The original air-assisted shocks use a different adjustment system.

Preload is a setup choice

The selected pairs include a preload wrench and installation pieces. Set both replacement shocks consistently according to the supplier’s instructions, then check loaded clearance and suspension operation. Included hardware does not establish that every sleeve or washer is suitable for a modified motorcycle.

Keep the boot and mounting parts distinct

The genuine Honda boot cross-references 52611-463-013 and 52611-463-003 and covers the original rear damper’s exposed rod area. It is separate from the shock-joint rubbers and washers. Its original-shock application does not establish fitment over these aftermarket replacements.

Shock questions

Can I choose the 290mm universal shocks simply because they also have two eyes?

No. Their eye-to-eye construction does not establish CB1000C fitment. The shorter length, mounting dimensions and available travel need checking, along with tire, fender, exhaust and stand clearance. The CB1000C is shaft-driven, so generic chain-clearance advice is not a model-specific approval.

Will the genuine Honda damper boot fit the new 325mm shock sets?

That combination is not documented. The boot is listed for the original rear-damper application, while the replacement pairs have their own bodies, springs and caps. Confirm the actual shock and boot dimensions before ordering them as a matched set.
