I recently picked up some Emgo rear shocks for my CB350F. I grabbed them from cycle recycle (online store). There shipping was priced amazingly fair, and product arrive quickly.
Pro's:
-They look great (black on black)
-The ride is 100% better it's really amazing how much this improves the ride of the bike. Before it seemed like you could feel every crack in the rode, and a bump with bounce you like a pogo stick. These shocks totally cleaned up the ride and made it much smoother
-I was worried the build quality wouldn't be the greatest since they were only $90 but they have 0 plastic and a thick powder coat, no problems with them yet (200 miles)
Cons:
-If your short or like a low riding bike these will raise the ride height about 3/4", I'm assuming this is a direct result of my stock shocks being totally "deflated" and sagging the ride height. So this might not affect all cases.
-The stock bushings, are a tight squeeze. I bored mine out a couple mm's but if you have the right equipment you probably won't need to bore them.
Total Costs: $98 shipped.
Value: 10/10
Quality: 9/10
Install difficulty: Moderate, it helps to have some good strength and the right tools (dremel, bushing grease)
Overall Satisfaction: 9/10
