1972 Honda CB500K Rear Shocks & Joint Rubbers

Rear shock buying for a 1972 CB500K starts with the fitted length and mounting style. The chrome stock-design set and longer black alternative have different measurements. Joint rubbers are another service choice, so determine whether the job needs complete shocks or their mounting rubber.

1972 Honda CB500K · Shock Absorbers Buying guide

Compare the actual measurement before choosing a shock finish

The selected chrome set measures 321mm center of eye to clevis, while the black set is 335mm eye-to-clevis. Both list CB500K applications, but the different dimensions must be considered against the motorcycle’s existing arrangement.

Parts to consider

Compare 321mm with 335mm as different dimensions

The chrome stock-design set has five-position preload and a stated 321mm eye-to-clevis measurement. The black alternative has four-position preload and measures 335mm. Its product wording calls it stock length across several models, but those two measurements are not identical; use the fitted CB500K arrangement when making the choice.

Mounting rubber does not replace a complete shock

The two joint rubbers reference 52484-292-000. The replica nut references 90309-315-000, with one supplied and two required for both corresponding mounts. Inspect the actual mounting pieces before adding them to the order; rear-wheel drive dampers are a separate product and should not be used as shock joint rubbers.

Choosing the right parts

Which measurements distinguish the featured shock pairs?

The stock-design chrome pair is 321mm from upper-eye center to clevis with five preload positions. The all-black pair is 335mm eye-to-clevis with four positions. Compare the fitted length and mounts before selecting either replacement.

Does the black 335mm set include adjustment hardware?

Yes. The pair includes bushings, inserts, washers and a preload-adjustment wrench, with four spring-preload positions. The separate 52484-292-000 joint rubbers and 90309-315-000 mounting nuts are not named in that included hardware list.

How many joint rubbers and mounting nuts should I order?

The joint rubber set supplies two for the corresponding left and right shock mounts. Each 90309-315-000 nut is supplied individually; two are required to renew the corresponding nuts on both shocks. Count the pieces needing replacement separately.
