shocks for 350F
« on: June 26, 2019, 12:29:48 PM »
Greetings:

Does anyone have a recommendation for rear shocks for 73 CB350F?  I got the  rear end apart and the old shocks are pretty shot

Any advice appreciated

Best Regards

I got mine at https://www.ebay.com/str/z1-parts-inc
That was 8 years ago though...

These look like the same ones I have https://www.ebay.com/itm/CB350-F-F1-G-K4-Rear-Shocks-1972-1974/143291778360?hash=item215cdb0538:g:DBMAAOSwPmVcL5ZA

These are new, yes, but likely Chinese junk nonetheless. You would be replacing old junk with new junk. For about $400 you can get a quality set of Hagons or Ikons. They look great and perform far better than cheap shocks.
All you gotta do is do what you gotta do.

Many thanks.

Your advice is much appreciated.

I will get the Hagon shocks.

Hagon do not do an exact replacement for the CB350F.

You need to choose between a slightly longer or a slightly shorter option.
