The 321mm product is described as stock-design, and the 335mm products as stock-length. Use their actual measurements and references to assess the fitted motorcycle. These names do not verify one original CB450K dimension, unchanged ride height or clearance for a set of a different length.
The eye-to-clevis shorty listings specify their upper bushing but omit lower clevis width and lower bolt diameter. The separate eye-to-eye version gives 10mm ID × 21mm bushings at both ends. Confirm the complete intended mounts and clearances before ordering any 290mm custom set.
These sets are expressly described as shorter-than-stock products for custom applications. Confirm the intended length, both mounting ends and required clearance. A CB450K application does not remove the custom fit checks or establish an unchanged suspension arrangement.
No. The eye-to-eye black shrouded version uses 10mm ID × 21mm bushings at both ends. The eye-to-clevis shorty versions instead specify a 12mm ID × 21mm upper bushing. Compare the exact product’s mounting style before choosing.
The joint rubbers explicitly come as two pieces. The OEM-type washer states two required per motorcycle but does not clearly give supplied package quantity. Check that detail separately and compare the washers already included with a chosen 335mm set.
