CB550K1 - rear shocks replacement - actual options?

(1/3) > >>

Erny:
Linked to my other thread about Koni shocks that won't fit ideally, I'm considering other options to replace my stock shocks. Ideally, new one looking like OEM (chomed)

Any ideas what is actually available on the market and where to buy?
I was looking at TEC website but those declared as matching OEMs are not available... https://www.tecbikeparts.com/product/cb500f-cb550f-k-tec-chrome-shock-absorbers/ but have no idea about their performance anyway.

The reason I'm lloking for the replacement is very, very poor performance of OEM ones, bike is "jumping" on uneven surface and behaves very bad in curves... I simply need much better performance for my riding needs.

Hagon took over making the Girling ones but mostley in black, they are a reasonable brand

Erny:
Just found these on CMS : https://www.cmsnl.com/products/rr-cushion-set-non_00000kit0058/
any experience with them, they look like OEM ones

K2-K6:
No help from me on the shocks.

But that's such a good picture of your bike Erny ... someone knows their shutter speed and aperture combination to pull those aspect together  :)

Perfect blur of spokes etc, while leaving good record of the bike moving.

I love that bike. Best of the CB500/550 series I have ever seen. Also the best pic. What happened to the RH side mirror?
