The 321mm set is described as stock-design for the listed CB550K years. The 335mm descriptions also use stock-length wording across several models. Keep that ambiguity visible: compare the installed dimensions and mountings instead of selecting a length because either product name sounds original.
The 290mm option is expressly described for custom applications. Its shorter measurement is a different choice from the 321mm and 335mm products, not an automatic substitute. Compare the upper bushing dimensions and lower attachment with the actual rear assembly, and confirm the complete application before ordering.
Compare the fitted shock length and mounting arrangement first. The descriptions use stock-style wording for different lengths, so do not choose from that wording alone. Match the listed measurement points and confirm the intended replacement length before ordering.
The all-chrome and black-body/chrome-spring 335mm listings both name bushings, inserts, washers and a preload wrench. Compare the individual listing if choosing another finish or design; those contents should not be transferred to every shock set in the category.
That product describes rear-wheel dampers containing four type A and four type B pieces. It is not described as the shock joint rubber pair or a rear shock fastener kit. Use the assembly name and replacement reference to distinguish these rubber parts.
