Been Around the Block
So I ride an '82 Honda Nighthawk 450 and I feel like the rear shocks have a lot of sag and poor rebound so I plan on replacing them. The shop down the street from me (a great mom and pop place that has a small bone yard of its own in the back to pull parts from) has a pair of stock CB750 (unsure of the year) shocks that they will give me for $50. Now my questions are will it make a difference? Is $50 a decent price? Am I better off just buying these :

One of the reasons I want to upgrade is I am pushing the bike a bit harder than I know I should and frequently feel the rear end start to slide in deep lean in hard turns. I already up graded the front springs to progressive and they are great. I know an 18" rear wheel would help compaired to the 16" I have on it but I have been unable to find a clean swap.
