Shock mount
« on: December 30, 2012, 09:44:52 AM »
Looking to put some Progressive 412 shocks on my cb350f but with them being eye mounts and Honda having the lower clevis mount, some modification is in order. I was thinking of welding a new mount but I found this today and wanted to know if anyone has tried this approach.

Why not just get a set of eye to clevis shocks instead?

$$$ eye to eye can be found cheaper used. Not really wanting two put 2 bills into shocks. I am shocked I didn't explain it a little better in the first post.

It also ShOcKeD me to realize I left the link out of the first post to what I was refering to

You can keep the shocks, and just change the style of
 shock mount on the shock on some brands.
