1984 Honda CB550SC Custom Shorty Shock Mounting Choices

The shock choices shown with the 1984 Honda CB550SC are universal custom sets, not a documented original-size replacement. All state 290mm length, but eye-to-eye and eye-to-clevis versions use different mounts and bushing specifications. Compare the installed arrangement before choosing.

1984 Honda CB550SC · Custom Shock Choices Buying guide

Choose a mounting arrangement before choosing a finish

The shrouded eye-to-clevis and black eye-to-eye sets share a stated length but differ at the lower mount. The black eye-to-clevis option is another style choice; appearance alone does not establish compatibility.

Do not compare the lengths without the mount style

The eye-to-eye listing measures between the centres of its two eyes. The eye-to-clevis listing measures from the upper eye centre to the lower clevis mounting centre. Compare those matching points on your installed arrangement; the common 290mm figure does not make the mounts interchangeable.

Separate package quantity from installation suitability

The eye-to-eye and black eye-to-clevis product FAQs explicitly describe two shocks supplied. The shrouded set does not give an equivalent supplied-count statement. Confirm its contents separately and verify the custom mounting requirements; package quantity cannot establish suitability for the motorcycle.

Custom Shock Choices questions

Can the eye-to-eye set replace a lower-clevis shock?

Its product FAQ explicitly says it does not replace a shock requiring a lower clevis. Check the motorcycle’s lower attachment before considering the 290mm length or black finish as a match.

Are both styles listed with the same bushing dimensions?

No. The eye-to-eye version states 10mm ID × 21mm bushings at both ends. The eye-to-clevis versions specify a 12mm ID × 21mm upper bushing and require a compatible lower clevis arrangement.

Does the shorty description establish the stock length?

The listings describe custom shorty shocks, but do not give the original 1984 CB550SC shock measurement. Measure the fitted mounting arrangement and confirm the proposed installation rather than deriving a stock dimension from the description.
