1979 Honda CB400TI Hawk I Custom Short Shocks

These 290 mm shock sets are custom-build choices for riders comparing a shorter rear-suspension arrangement. For a 1979 Hawk I project, begin with the fitted mounts and required travel clearance, then consider black or chrome finishes once the mechanical checks are settled.

1979 Honda CB400TI Hawk I · Custom Short Shocks Buying guide

Compare the two lower-mount arrangements

The eye-to-clevis sets use a different lower mount from the eye-to-eye set. Their bushing dimensions also differ, so equal stated length is not enough to establish that either configuration suits your build.

Compare like-for-like mounting measurements

The black and chrome shrouded eye-to-clevis options are specified at 290 mm with 12 mm ID × 21 mm upper bushings. The black eye-to-eye option is 290 mm with 10 mm ID × 21 mm bushings at both ends. Check the lower attachment as carefully as the upper one.

Treat length changes as a suspension decision

These products are described for custom applications. Their five-position spring preload adjustment does not establish compatibility with the motorcycle, rider or intended load. Have the complete installation assessed before ordering; this selection supplies product dimensions, not a stock-height replacement specification.

Buying questions

Can I swap an eye-to-eye set for an eye-to-clevis set?

Not simply because both measure 290 mm. They use different lower attachments, and the stated upper bushing sizes differ. Choose only after checking the actual mounts and installation requirements.

How do the chrome and black shrouded clevis sets differ?

Both list 290 mm eye-to-clevis length, 12 mm ID × 21 mm upper bushings and five preload positions. Their stated finish differs; still verify the mounting details against your particular build.

Does the preload adjustment make these suitable for any load?

No load suitability is established by the number of preload positions. Ask for a supported application and loading recommendation for your build, and verify clearance and mounting compatibility before committing to custom suspension.
