1965 Honda CB450K Custom Rear Shock Absorbers

These rear shock options are 290mm shorty sets for custom applications on a checked 1965 CB450K build. Chrome and black finishes are available, but the first choice is mechanical: eye-to-clevis or eye-to-eye mounting, followed by dimensions and clearance.

1965 Honda CB450K · Shock Absorbers Buying guide

Choose the mounting arrangement before the finish

Three options use eye-to-clevis mounting; the black eye-to-eye version has different ends and bushing dimensions. All are listed for custom use, so a shared length or model tag does not make them interchangeable.

An eye and a clevis are different mounts

Read the mounting description as carefully as the length. The eye-to-clevis options have a listed 12mm upper bushing ID; the eye-to-eye version lists 10mm at both ends. Those differences require a comparison with the actual hardware on your motorcycle.

Check mounts and length before preload settings

These listings offer five-position spring preload adjustment alongside their 290mm specification. Confirm the custom application from the mounting arrangement and dimensions first. The preload feature is a separate specification; it does not establish that these shocks suit your existing motorcycle or replace stock suspension.

CB450K buying questions

Can I interchange the eye-to-eye and eye-to-clevis versions?

They have different lower mounting arrangements and different listed bushing IDs. Compare both ends with your motorcycle; the common 290mm dimension and similar appearance do not establish that one can replace the other.

Do the eye-to-clevis listings give the lower mounting dimensions?

They specify the 12mm ID × 21mm upper bushing, but do not state the lower clevis opening width or bolt diameter. Compare the actual lower mount on your motorcycle and confirm those dimensions before ordering.

Are these a direct stock replacement for my CB450K?

The listings identify these as shorty shocks for custom applications. They do not establish stock replacement dimensions for your motorcycle. Compare the original or installed shocks, mounting hardware and available clearance before committing to a set.
