Would these shocks work with a 1980 cb650?
« on: October 15, 2020, 06:41:39 AM »
I saw this on Craigslist, and it looks like a good deal. They're basically new, taken from a VTX.

Would these work well on my CB?

They wont fit. You need a clevis at the bottom, and this needs to be offset to clear the chain gaurd.
