Topic: Looking for shocks for my CB550, what are my best and quickest options?

[Celco]

Looking to get some new shocks for my CB550 Cafe.  I have some old busted rear shocks on there now... and after rebuilding the front forks, the flaws of the rear are now apparent. 

Looking to get something that is a decent price (i.e. under $200 shipped), rebuild-able if possible, reputable dealer, and could be ordered and have in my hands in the next week.  Not interested in sifting through pages of ebay and forum stuff to find a suitable part or waiting until they pop up again.

How are those rebranded redwing shocks by Assult?  Any good?  Any other sites that have a decent deal?

Thanks for the info.

Progressive suspension.

I have Ikons on my 650, they are brilliant, adjustable preload and damping, and they are rebuildable.  I can't remember what I paid for them though, but I'm pretty sure it was more than $200.

CycleX has shocks for less than $100 shipped.  I've had a pair for two seasons, and they're a good improvement from old stockers.  They're not a performance shock by most standards however.

i have ikons aswell,about 425 i think?ive had hagons at the same price about,a cheap rear shock will be a cheap rear shock but better than non working old ones.

I have the base hagons. $200 very well spent.

Said screw it... Ordered the Hagons from Dave Quinn just now.  Guy said that he would try to get them on the truck today.  Lets hope they get here before the 4th!
