Topic: Have you guys seen or used these shocks yet?

[Shtonecb500]

I found these on 4into1, they must have just added these. Looks to be Öhlins knock offs for under 100 bucks....Im referring to the design of
Yes, I know you get what you pay for. I just purchased some EMGO shocks for 110 delivered and I only expect to get a season out of them the way I plan on riding it. But, its nice to have another choice in the look without buying one of those Chinese shocks that come in funky colors.

Those are Chinese shocks just black, debatable if worse or better than originals

[Translations]

He's correct those are Chinese and suspension is the one thing you really shouldn't cheap out on especially on a motorcycle. A smart rule of thumb is anything under $200 give or take is going to be made to a suspect quality spend a bit more and you'll have shocks that will last the life of the bike and actually improve handling.

Yeah, that's why Honda didn't cheap out on their fantastic quality original shocks

Honda NOS shocks cost a lot!!

My K2 had $200US stock knock offs that worked OK.
Replaced by Ikons that were not that much better.

Many of us in the UK use TEC shocks on our CB SOHC/4's. Look like originals but are vastly superior in ride quality to the originals and are excellent value for money and last very well. I'm in my 5th year of having fitted to regular riding bikes a and they are still great. They do them for all models but here's a pic of some.

I had these on my K2, OK even when twisting some throttle.

Might be found cheaper

can you explain how these are vastly superior in your opinion to the originals?

I bought Hagon's, metal is stainless but looks a bit like chrome. They work well, were not too expensive. Hagon I think took over from Girling shocks?

The originals made the back end feel like you were riding along the road on a jelly, all wobbly and soft. Unlike a majority of USA roads, our roads in the UK are mainly twisty with tight bends where you need good stability at the back end. I find, especially on the 750/4's, the TEC's give an excellent ride. I have them fitted to all my SOHC/4's and I haven't found another make that feel right to me.

I think I understand what you mean.

My CB750 K2 with Ikon shocks oversteer at rear when shaking the handlebars. Feels not safe.
I have the shocks at highest setting, need to lower it and damping 1 step harder. (2)

My other CB750 has also Ikon's but model with progressive springs, also highest setting, softest damping (1). Really stable and comfortable.

Both bikes have steering dampers.

Thank you for the explanation. TN has lots of twisty roads too.
