Rear Shocks and Fuel / Carb hoses

So my CB is currently undergoing a major overhaul and is in a million pieces. I've nearly got the back end back together but now I'm shopping for new shocks. I've read good things on here about the TEK Alloy Gas Shocks and for the price they sound fantastic. What eye size / stroke / etc have people ordered them to? or are you just asking for something that'll fit a CB500 and they're knocking them out?

Secondly does anyone have all the hose diameters on hand for the spiderweb of stuff under then tank? I'm replacing all the rubber as I go and I know the main fuel hose is 8mm ID but what is everything else? Breathers, small coolant lines and those really, really small ones coming off the carbs. Anyone got an exploded diagram with sizes on hand so I can get stuff ordered?

Www.tecbikeparts.com  just say rear shock for cb 500 in my case 1997 model. Davidsilverspares for fuel hose  they sell it by length so take off old one and cut to old hose size

I have the TEC rear shocks. Good value for money I think. Ask for as above!!

I think Lings list the size & length of the hoses on their parts lists.
