CB175 etc Shocks
« on: August 22, 2014, 10:07:07 PM »
These are genuine Showa Shocks. He sold quite a few don't know where he's getting them from . Just bought a pair from him look like bit of a bargain to me.

Great stuff. The delivery was lightening fast too packed in a box each one in really sturdy cardboard tubes. If you look at his history he has sold lots of these and CB125, CB160 style oval dual clocks too. Intrigues me  that he has had so many for sale. Not greedy with his pricing too, I reckon he could have sold them for 100 and still got buyers.

Arrived today exactly as he said, the small split in the black "shroud" is easily sorted.
Generally as new.
Thanks for the tip off

Wasn't so good for me. I was hoping they were very close to the CB250K ones but alas they are quite different. Another 250SS restorer told me he is going to use them, so I bought a pair as a punt but sadly not for me so. Absolute bargain though !

Cheers .. AshD
