Better boingers

Many of the early Japanese suspension units weren’t that great to start with, so a few decades later they’re even worse. For restorers, maintaining original appearance is as important as performance, so YSS have a range of shocks that do exactly that. The units shown here are specially made to fit the Honda CB500, with the forked bottom mount, but the YSS range includes models that replicate the original appearance of a large range of Japanese motorcycles, and provide the ride performance that you need for comfort and safety. Like the originals, the YSS CB500 shocks are available with chrome springs and chrome top covers, priced from $399.00. Contact The One-Stop Suspension Shop (08) 8284 8033 or www.suspensionshop.org.
