Shock ?
« on: May 21, 2005, 08:22:57 PM »
Hey All,
 I'm starting to pull apart the 72 cb500 and noticed it has Red Wing shock's. They seem to be about a 1/4 shorter than the stock one's on the 78 cb550. Can someone confirm that there are or are not swappable?

Thank's
 Paul

They are 13" on my 78 550 but look's to be 12 3/4" on the 72 500.

Thank's, I run some Works Performance on my Pursang but don't really want to spend that kind of cash now. Do you like progressive?

You can't really beat Hagon shocks for after market replacements.
