1982 Honda CB450TC · Custom Shock Absorbers Buying guide

Measure the mounts before choosing a finish

These sets provide five spring-preload positions, but a shared adjustment range does not establish fit. Confirm the mounting style, bushing dimensions and suitability for the intended suspension arrangement before ordering.

Separate the two mounting configurations

The chrome and black shrouded eye-to-clevis versions specify a 12 mm inside-diameter upper bushing. The eye-to-eye version uses 10 mm inside-diameter bushings at both ends. Compare those specifications with the actual mounting arrangement; the same nominal length does not make the sets interchangeable.

Assess the whole custom suspension arrangement

A custom shock choice needs more than a visual match. Have the mounting dimensions, available travel and clearances reviewed for the intended build. Five-position spring preload is a listed feature, not confirmation that the spring or overall suspension geometry suits a particular rider or motorcycle.

Buying questions

Are these stock replacement shocks for the CB450TC?

They are universal custom shorty sets. Stock fitment and original ride height are not established by their presence in this category. Confirm the complete mounting arrangement and suspension requirements before choosing one.

How does the eye-to-eye set differ from the clevis sets?

The eye-to-eye version has a 10 mm ID × 21 mm bushing at each end. The eye-to-clevis versions specify a 12 mm ID × 21 mm upper bushing and a different lower attachment.

Do the black and chrome shrouded clevis sets share dimensions?

Both specify 290 mm eye-to-clevis length and a 12 mm ID × 21 mm upper bushing, with five preload positions. Choose the finish only after verifying that configuration for your custom suspension arrangement.
