Standard rear shocks

Hey,

The CB I bought has some aftermarket-extra-damn-short rear shocks on it as the lady before me was verging on a midget.

Does anyone out there have any standard shocks for sale or willing to swap?

Or is there anywhere I can buy standard shocks but not at silly prices. Ive been quoted over £100 for em and I ony paid £450 for the bike!

Hoping that there is quite a big difference in the height as Its pretty cramped atm. Is there any way of lowering the pegs or raising the seat etc?


Thanks in advance

I just had a quick look on ebay, there's a fair selection on there.

Watch out cos they've listed the old 70's CB5 as well!

cheers Team,

How do I know which are for my model? T reg 1999.

Seem to be the cheapest but I dont know which model, just says 1998.

Anything from 93 to 01 will fit fine. Its the 70's bikes you have to avoid

Actually thinking about it, I replaced my original shocks with Hagons a few years ago. I've still got the originals (somewhere!!) so if you can wait a few days I'll see if I can dig them out (assuming SWMBO hasn't "tidied" them! )
The chrome is very tatty but they had no leaks & they're standard size.

Sounds Brilliant Teamster, much appreciated
