1978 CB750K Rear Shocks Complete
« on: November 14, 2014, 04:29:22 AM »
I am looking to replace mine with something knew, as close to original look as possible but maybe with better overall performance. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated as always.

I have seen some on ebay like the ones below but I am not sure if they will work for my bike.

They don't look anything like the original for the K7/K8. And since you usually get what you pay for, I doubt it that they perform any better. Koni, i.e., Icon would be my preferred choice as they are very good performers and contemporary of the bike. I have Konis on my K7, and they were one of my first upgrades of the bike back in the day.

you can get Hagons with the shrouds

Since he wants to go "as close to original look as possible," he should pick the ones without the shrouds.
