Although NOT off a CL77 im going to put them onto a CL77 im building. Its not gong to be standard so please don't get upset with me but I specifically want sl350 stock rear shocks

theres plenty on ebay in the US at good prices but nothing over here in the uk and with shipping and imports it seams silly money

Thanks for any help in advance

They look a lot like the ones that came with the CB400F in the UK.

From the parts fiche they have an M10 bolt at the bottom and the clevis is threaded M10. The CL77 clevis and bush in the swing arm are M8 so you will need to come up with with some kind of sleeve nut and a bigger bush for the swing arm.

Not impossible but you'll have to juggle the parts to get a working solution.

The top end is much easier as you will just need to put in a bush to adapt the CL77 8mm bolt to the 10mm hole in the rubber bush.

I'm going to the US next week but I have plenty of my own stuff to pick up. Those are heavy so I think I'll pass on carrying them for you.

thanks for the info but it’s specifically the sl ones i’m after. i’m doing a replica bike and i need them identical to the originals for satisfaction reasons. 345mm hight and spring width are key to the look. i have some cb ones already and there not quite what i’m after.
but thank you anyway.
