What Are These Called?

I took these off a Honda CB550, I know what they're for, but what are they called? What they do is lower your bike, by putting the rear shock at a slight angle.

Lowering blocks. I have two sets for 69-76 CB750s. They were very popular in the 70s. I've never ran a set and have heard both good and bad about them.

Thanks Rider52, any idea what they're worth?

Sorry no idea.

I don't think they're rare, or particularly sought after. Likely $20 or so. As always if someone is looking for them, then they're worth more

With the plethora of shock options available now, it's pretty easy to lower the rear end of a Honda without resorting to these. Useful on a new bike with new shocks, but 50 years on, anybody who wants to lower their bike likely also needs new shocks anyhow.
