1974 Honda CB550K · Rear Shocks Buying guide

Picking the right shock length

The featured sets state different lengths and preload-position counts. Measure the fitted eye-to-clevis arrangement before comparing them. A universal shorty description supplies mounting measurements, but does not establish a model-specific fit or an unchanged chassis arrangement.

Parts to consider

Stock design versus stock length

The chrome stock-design product states 321 mm center-of-eye to clevis and five preload positions. The 335 mm products state a different length and four positions. Their shared CB550K application does not establish identical factory geometry, so keep each measurement and mounting comparison distinct when choosing.

Compare the CB750K design notes

The two CB750K-design descriptions also name CB550K applications, with shrouds and 336 mm measurements. Their original-design labels refer to CB750K styling, not documented CB550K originality. Compare the stated length, finish and mounts before choosing, without treating an earlier CB750 design as the original CB550 shock.

Shock questions

How many shock nuts does the bike use?

The separate nut listing states two used per motorcycle and reference 90309-315-000. It asks for the quantity required without explicitly describing a two-nut package. Check the actual order quantity against the mounting hardware needing replacement.

Will the 290mm shorty shocks fit?

The shorty listings describe universal custom applications. Most state 290 mm eye-to-clevis, while another states eye-to-eye with different bushings. Compare mounting style and dimensions with the fitted assembly; the general listing does not guarantee installation on this motorcycle.

Do the joint rubbers fit the 1974 CB550K?

The description explicitly supplies two joint rubbers referencing 52484-292-000 and includes the 1974–78 CB550K. That two-piece package is separate from the contents of a shock set and the usage count for mounting nuts.
