1983 Honda CB450SC Nighthawk Shorty Shock Mounts & Package Choices

The 1983 CB450SC Nighthawk shock choices include universal 290 mm custom sets and reference-matched joint rubbers. Chrome and black shrouded eye-to-clevis sets share stated upper-bushing dimensions. The black eye-to-eye option requires a different lower joint, making mount identification the first purchasing decision.

1983 Honda CB450SC Nighthawk · Shock Absorbers Buying guide

Match both ends before choosing a shorty shock finish

Eye-to-clevis options specify a 12 mm ID × 21 mm upper bushing. The eye-to-eye product specifies 10 mm ID × 21 mm bushings at both ends. All are described as shorter custom applications.

Do not use paint or shrouds to infer the mount

Chrome and black shrouded eye-to-clevis choices list the same upper-bushing dimensions, but the eye-to-eye product differs at both mounting ends. Identify the actual shock joints before comparing finishes. The source’s universal custom description leaves the motorcycle’s mounting compatibility to that assessment.

Check the existing joints before adding separate rubbers

The 52484-292-000 package supplies two rubbers for the corresponding rear-shock mounting positions. Its source calls for checks of shocks, sleeves, bolts and mounting bosses. This Honda reference does not establish the rubber requirement of every universal shock eye or clevis.

Common questions

Are the two black mounting styles substitutes because both measure 290 mm?

Their mounting arrangements differ. The shrouded eye-to-clevis set has a 12 mm ID × 21 mm upper bushing. The eye-to-eye pair uses 10 mm ID × 21 mm bushings at both ends and cannot replace a lower clevis requirement.

Which listings explicitly establish the number of shocks supplied?

The chrome eye-to-clevis FAQ and black eye-to-eye FAQ each specify two shocks. The black shrouded eye-to-clevis listing calls its product a set without an explicit piece count. Confirm that package quantity instead of deriving it from the photograph.

Can the Honda joint-rubber pair be added to any of these custom sets?

Match Honda 52484-292-000 to the actual joint needing service. The pair covers its corresponding Honda mounting positions, while the custom shocks list their own mount and bushing dimensions. Neither source establishes that the separate rubbers fit every universal shock joint.
