The Honda CB450, CL450 Scrambler & CB500T has had a myriad of front fork versions over the years. However the prominent K2-K7 models have 35mm telescopic dampening rod style fork which utilizes hydraulic oil (aka fork oil) to control the front of the motorcycle. The rear suspension uses a pair of shocks with variable spring pre-load settings. Rebuilding the suspension will keep your bike handing at its best and give you a positive feeling on the road.
