Suspension shopping for your 1972 Honda CL350K4 starts with the parts and geometry already on the motorcycle. Inspect mounting joints and steering hardware as well as the major components, and treat replacement dimensions as measurements to compare rather than proof of factory specification.

1972 Honda CL350K4 · Suspension & Steering Parts Buying guide
Record the fitted suspension before selecting replacements
Mounting rubbers and steering fasteners are useful service choices alongside complete shocks. Keep shock length, mounting style and bushing fit separate from cosmetic preferences when assembling the replacement order.
The black replacement shock set is described as 335mm eye-to-clevis and includes bushings, inserts, washers and a preload wrench. Compare those details with the actual mounting. This replacement measurement does not establish the motorcycle’s original geometry or suitability of a modified setup.
Keep wear repairs separate from appearance
A fresh steering nut or chrome finish cannot diagnose a worn steering assembly. Inspect the mechanical condition and use the service manual’s procedures before ordering. Likewise, check shock mounting rubbers and surrounding hardware rather than replacing shocks solely to address play at a joint.
Ordering questions
Which details should I compare on the 335 mm replacement shocks?
The merchant application includes CL350K 1969–73. Compare the 335 mm eye-to-clevis length, both attachment points and fitted clearances before ordering, especially if the swingarm or other suspension parts have been changed.
Can I choose a short shock just to change the appearance?
A different length or lower mount is a custom suspension decision. Establish geometry, mounting and clearance requirements with appropriate expertise before ordering; the grid includes products with different attachment styles.
Should I replace the joint rubbers with new shocks?
Inspect the fitted mounting arrangement and the contents of the chosen shock package first. Separate rubber purchases should follow the actual condition and compatibility of the joint, rather than being added automatically.
