1975 Honda CB500T · Shock Absorbers Buying guide

Separate 335mm, 321mm, and 290mm

Black 335mm keeps the stated stock eye-to-clevis and adds a black end cap. Chrome 335mm is that same length without the end cap. Choose 321mm or 290mm only after you compare how each one is measured.

Black 335mm versus chrome 335mm

Both stock-length sets measure 335mm (13 3/16 in.) eye-to-clevis, use 4-position preload, and include bushings, inserts, washers, and a preload wrench. The black set adds a black end cap. The chrome set is chrome springs and body without that end cap. The ride-height claim stays 335mm.

321mm, 290mm, and the mount nut

The 321 mm set has no upper shroud, 5-position preload, and a 20 mm top eye that may need washers. The 290 mm set is shrouded, uses a 12 by 21 mm upper bushing, and is shorter. Nut 90309-315-000 is noted as two per bike. Match the nut to the stud on the shock you have.

Which shock length should I order?

Which number is factory ride height?

The 335mm eye-to-clevis sets are described as stock length and factory ride height, black with an end cap or chrome without one. The 290mm set is shorter than stock. The 321mm figure is center-of-eye to clevis, a different measurement.

Why might the 321mm shocks need washers?

The top eye is 20mm wide, and the description says some models need washers at the shock mount. A rubber damper is already in that upper eye. Check the 20mm width against the mount on your bike before you leave the washers out.

Are the joint rubbers the shock bushing?

No. Joint rubbers are a pair replacing 52484-292-000. The shock bushing is sold individually and measures 19mm long, 22mm outside, and 10mm inside, replacing 40548-268-000. Use the rubbers at the joint and the bushing between shock and swingarm.
