Name that shock!!!!
« on: May 10, 2011, 05:48:47 PM »
I recently got these shocks as a cheap upgrade to my cb350 shocks 

They seem to be 30 way adjustable, i just dont know anything about them and the only stuff i could find was in German.





Any info will help, the only thing that i know is that they came from a CB750C...

Cheers!

Appeared first on the DOHC 1980 CB750F (also 900F and a couple others). FVQ stands for "Full Variable fFequency".

Full Variable Frequency ???

In the day they were known as "Fade Very Quickly"

My CB900 has them.
