Locate the joint before choosing its replacement parts
Joint rubbers come as a two-piece set, the chrome steering washer is sold individually, and grease fittings come two to a pack. These purchasing units belong to different assemblies and should be counted separately.
Compare complete shocks on their stated measurements
The linked black shock set explicitly includes 1970–74 CL450 models and measures 335 mm eye-to-clevis. It has four preload positions and includes bushings, inserts, washers and a preload wrench. Compare both mounts and intended length before choosing it for a modified rear suspension.
Identify the pivot cap by its own reference
The linked swingarm dust-cap package supplies two caps under reference 52144-362-000, expressly covering the 1974 CL450. Keep that pair separate from the pivot bushings, felts and grease fittings. The linked gaitor set is another two-piece package for the fork, with its own seating points.
Ordering questions
What is included with the linked complete shock set?
The black 335 mm eye-to-clevis set includes bushings, inserts, washers and a preload wrench, with four preload positions. Check those supplied pieces against the retained mounts before adding separate joint rubbers or mounting nuts.
Do the two dust seal caps identify a complete swingarm rebuild kit?
The cap set supplies two pivot-end caps under reference 52144-362-000. Felts, thrust bushings, grease fittings and fastening hardware are separate products, so inspect those positions individually before preparing a broader repair order.
Which rear wheel detail matters when choosing the bearing retainer?
Confirm the fitted hub and the sprocket-side position. The available retainer is identified by reference 41231-283-000; a changed rear wheel calls for checking the retained assembly rather than relying on the motorcycle’s model alone.
