Many Honda CX monoshock conversions are made from non-compliant shock absorbers from other motorcycles. Shock absorbers with too soft a spring, not suitable for CX models, which makes their use dangerous. YSS has therefore developed a monoshock specific to the CX400 and CX500: the TCXF-MZ-366-280-TRL .
Honda CX models are not designed as single shock absorber motorcycles. Therefore, to ride safely , it is imperative to only mount a model made exclusively for them. The YSS kit is simple, strong and safe. The forces are distributed to the strongest points of the swingarm.
The TCXF-MZ-366-280-TRL mono shock absorber kit is developed by Suspension-Store, official distributor and custom shop for YSS suspension. This kit is intended for the CX400 and CX500 models of the Honda brand.
The baseplate and top bracket must be welded to the rear swingarm and frame . It is recommended to have a professional do the welding. The placement of the baseplate is the exact shape of where it needs to be welded.
The shock absorber has a length of 280 mm . By varying the location of the top mount, you can choose your own ride height. However, it is recommended to stay close to the standard geometry.
