CB500 rear shock length
« on: May 25, 2023, 02:22:46 PM »
Hi everyone

I have a 71 CB500 four K0.. Would anyone know the length (centre to centre) of standard rear shocks

Or if anyone has standard shocks fitted could you possibly measure them please?

Many thanks

Fully extended in situ its 32 cm between the centre of the mounts.

Measured with my rear forks on the frame whilst on the centre stand - no wheel fitted at the moment - forks will not push down any further.

Can't help with the minimum measurement.
