1977 Honda CB550K · Shock Absorbers Buying guide
The 321 mm, 335 mm and shorter custom sets are distinct choices. Check the measurement endpoints and upper and lower mounts first; chrome, black and shrouded finishes can be considered after those details match.

One set is described as stock-design at 321 mm and others as stock-length at 335 mm. Those names do not prove an original factory length for this motorcycle. Measure the fitted shocks using the listed endpoints and compare the actual upper and lower mount arrangements.
The shorter 290 mm set is a custom choice, not a promise to reproduce the current setup. Its mounting details need comparison as well as its length. Check included bushings and fittings for the chosen set, then assess the retained mounting nuts, washers and joint rubbers individually.
Their stated lengths differ, and the 321 mm set also has its own upper-eye width and preload specification. Compare the installed dimensions and mounts; the shared stock-style wording does not establish equivalence.
Its description includes bushings, inserts, washers and a preload wrench with the shock set. Inspect the separate mounting nuts and washers on the motorcycle too; do not infer that every surrounding fastener is part of the package.
The washer description states that two are used on the motorcycle but does not establish a two-washer purchase package. Confirm the supplied quantity and count the retained usable hardware before ordering replacements.
