1984 Honda CB450SC Nighthawk Shorty Shock Mounts and Supplied Set Details

A custom shock decision for the 1984 Honda CB450SC Nighthawk starts with the lower mount, not the color. Chrome and black shrouded choices measure 290 mm eye-to-clevis, while the black eye-to-eye choice uses different bushings. Establish the mounting requirements before considering their finish or preload adjustment.

1984 Honda CB450SC Nighthawk · Custom Shock Mount Selection Buying guide

Choose the mount class before the shock finish

The eye-to-clevis listings specify a 12 mm ID x 21 mm upper bushing; the eye-to-eye design specifies 10 mm ID x 21 mm bushings at both ends. All three describe shorter custom shocks with five-position preload. No original CB450SC shock length or assured lowering amount is established here.

Preserve the mounting difference during comparison

A matching nominal length cannot adapt a lower eye to a required clevis. The detailed specifications establish each mount class and its bushing sizes. The black shrouded set has no published supplied count, while the chrome and black eye-to-eye listings expressly supply two shocks.

Plan the checks that accompany a shorter custom shock

The chrome and eye-to-eye listings call for checking mount width, travel and clearance around the spring, tire, fender, chain and exhaust, plus the side-stand angle. Their FAQs also call for matching preload positions on both shocks. These checks do not establish a factory-height replacement.

Common questions

What must match before I choose a lower-clevis or lower-eye shock?

Identify the lower attachment first. Eye-to-clevis shocks specify a 12 mm ID x 21 mm upper bushing and need a compatible clevis arrangement. The eye-to-eye pair uses 10 mm ID x 21 mm bushings at both mounting eyes.

Can I assume the chrome and black shrouded sets have the same supplied count?

The chrome listing explicitly includes two rear shocks. The black shrouded listing describes a set but does not state its supplied count. Confirm that count before budgeting a full replacement, rather than carrying the chrome package quantity into the black listing.

Which clearance checks belong in a shorter-shock conversion plan?

The detailed listings identify mounting width, suspension travel, spring clearance, tire-to-fender clearance, chain angle, exhaust clearance and side-stand angle as checks. Compare those requirements on the proposed build; the shared 290 mm measurement alone cannot establish suitability or a lowering amount.
