1971 Honda CB500K · Shock Absorbers Buying guide

Read shock length before the finish description

Stock design describes appearance, while the actual measurement identifies the offered setup. The selected sets have CB500K applications, but 321mm and 335mm options are not identical dimensions; compare the motorcycle and listed hardware carefully.

Parts to consider

The stated length is 321mm from center of eye to clevis, with five-position spring preload adjustment.View part Honda CB Stock Length Shock Absorber Set ~ Black 335mm Black 335mm eye-to-clevis shocksBlack shock set measuring 335mm eye-to-clevis, with four-position preload.

321mm and 335mm are distinct choices

The chrome stock-design set expressly lists CB500K 1971–73 and measures 321mm center of eye to clevis. The black and chrome alternatives featured here measure 335mm eye-to-clevis. Their wider catalog descriptions use stock-length wording, but this guide does not claim that all three reproduce an identical CB500K factory dimension.

Keep universal shorty applications qualified

The wider category includes 290mm custom sets, with eye-to-clevis and eye-to-eye versions. Those are different mount configurations, not just finish variations. They are not featured as direct CB500K replacements here. Compare the exact mounting arrangement and dimensions rather than choosing a custom shock from the motorcycle name alone.

Questions before you order

How do I choose between the 321mm and 335mm shock sets?

The covered chrome stock-design pair is 321mm upper-eye center to clevis, while the black pair and alternate chrome set are 335mm eye-to-clevis. Match the installed length and mounting arrangement before choosing by finish or preload positions.

What differs between the black and chrome 335mm sets?

Both list progressive-wound springs, four preload positions, bushings, inserts, washers and a preload wrench. The black set has black body, springs and end cap; the alternate chrome set has chrome body and springs without that end-cap detail.

How are the separate shock mounting rubbers and nuts supplied?

The 52484-292-000 joint rubber package supplies two pieces for the corresponding left and right shock mounts. The 90309-315-000 nut is sold individually, with two needed when replacing the corresponding nuts on both rear shocks.
