I'm trying to find some good, and attractive, replacement shock absorbers for my CB200.
I've seen some on eBay etc which look much like the originals.
I've also spoken to Hagon, who don't have one specifically for it, but have some available in lengths 310mm, 335mm and 361mm, with a different base fitting, so would need to mod the frame.
I measure 315mm from bolt centre to bolt centre. Clearly 361mm is out, but would it be better to go for 310 which is a bit smaller, or 335, 20mm higher? I dunno....
This is all assuming they've made the same measurement as me and it's a comparable dimension to the 310mm I've measured of course; so I need to confirm.
Which would be the better size?
Am I likely to notice that the shock is significantly better than a run of the mill ebay purchase?
Thanks in advance.
