1971 Honda CB500K · Suspension & Wheel Buying guide
The CB500K selection spans fork sealing, rear shocks, swingarm parts and wheel rebuild components. Keep front and rear positions separate, and compare a replacement’s actual size rather than treating every stock-style catalog title as the same specification.

The CB500K-listed stock-design shock set measures 321mm from center of eye to clevis. Other catalog choices are 335mm or 336mm, and universal shorty sets use another length or mounting style. Compare the existing motorcycle rather than assuming that every chrome shock or stock-length title preserves the same arrangement.
Rims, spokes, retainers, drive dampers and swingarm bushings serve different positions. The rear spoke product is specified for the stock 18-inch wheel; front spokes are another product for the stock 19-inch wheel. A bushing pair or damper set should not be treated as a complete wheel or suspension rebuild kit.
The chrome stock-design pair is listed at 321mm from the upper-eye center to the clevis. The black alternative measures 335mm eye-to-clevis. Compare both length and mounting arrangement, particularly if the rear suspension has changed.
The pair is specified at 35 × 48 × 10.5/11mm and lists the 1971 CB500K. A fork conversion needs a match to the complete seal dimensions; the motorcycle name alone does not verify a replacement fork.
The front pack is for the stock 19-inch wheel and includes 40 spokes with matching nipples. The rear pack is for the stock 18-inch wheel and includes 40 spokes plus 40 nipples; select by wheel position.
