Even if your weren't interested or they were not good enough at least you'd know if another set of them would be suitable.

Measured mine at 14"

I fitted the OEM shocks from my CB750F2 to my commuter CB550F1 & it made quite a differance to the handling & extra ground clearance



At one time I fitted some CB900FZ shocks to my 550F1 but they were too long so went back to the 750F2 shocks



I have these Koni shocks for sale (£80 +p&p)



Not sure what they are eye-to-eye but they were from one of my CB550Fs

I've measured my koni shocks & they're 12.5" between centres & are set at their shortest setting by adjusting the top mount locknut.

Hey yoshi what lenghts were the 750 & the 900 shocks ? I'm guessing you never did anything to the front end to compensate for the higher rear end  ? I've got 14.5 inch Hagons for my 500, but still to get my act togeather and reassemble it after poweder coating. What issues were you getting with the 900 shocks ?

The rods look fine, not pitted or rusty, the springs are great at first glance, don't appear to be chipped or rusty. If the seal was replaced I'd imagine they'd be fine, the bodies are not too bad but there is a small area where it's been catching something and it's ground a little of the alloy away.
