1967 Honda CB450K · Shock Absorbers Buying guide

Write down the mounting requirements before selecting a set

Each option is described for a custom application. The eye-to-clevis sets have 12mm upper bushing IDs; the eye-to-eye set has 10mm IDs at both ends. Lower clevis dimensions need a separate confirmation.

Confirm the dimensions that are not listed

The eye-to-clevis descriptions provide the upper bushing specification but omit the lower clevis opening width and bolt diameter. Compare the lower mount on the motorcycle and confirm those missing measurements before buying. A matching upper mount cannot verify the whole shock installation.

Keep restoration length and custom length separate

The listings identify all four choices as 290mm shorty shocks for custom use. If you are retaining an original suspension arrangement, first establish the dimensions it needs. The finish and five-position preload feature do not establish stock replacement length or suitable clearance.

CB450K buying questions

Does the 10mm eye-to-eye bushing match a 12mm upper mount?

The specifications differ: the eye-to-eye option lists 10mm ID bushings, whereas the eye-to-clevis sets list a 12mm upper bushing ID. Confirm the exact mounting requirements and compatible hardware rather than assuming the sets fit the same attachments.

What should I confirm about the lower clevis before buying?

Check the opening width and lower bolt diameter required by your mount. These dimensions are not stated in the eye-to-clevis listings. Confirm them along with the listed upper bushing and 290mm measurement before committing to the custom set.

Which option is confirmed as an original-length replacement?

None of the four listings establishes an original-length CB450K replacement. They describe 290mm custom shorty shocks. Compare the dimensions and mounting arrangement required by your motorcycle before selecting any of these sets.
