🏍️ GENUINE KYB BLACK REAR SHOCKS FOR HONDA SH300 / SH350 (390MM) K-ELITE JAPANESE TECHNOLOGY
Hello there! When you pilot powerful large-displacement machines like the Honda SH300i or SH350i, the high-speed range is where the limitations of the stock suspension system become most apparent. A slow-responding stock shock easily causes a bouncy floating sensation, rear-end wobbling, and slight fishtailing when cornering hard, accompanied by a heartbreaking, frame-jarring "clunk" when carrying heavy luggage.
Deeply understanding your desire to optimize damping performance to master the engine's power, Monkey89 proudly introduces: Genuine Japanese KYB K-Elite Black Rear Shocks (390mm) for Honda SH300 / SH350. Belonging to the high-performance 2W Performance upgrade segment with an incredibly powerful matte titanium black design, this twin shock kit will deliver perfect rock-solid stability and complete peace of mind on every long touring route.

⚙️ DETAILED TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
🚀 REAL-WORLD PERFORMANCE OF THE K-ELITE BLACK
-
⚖️ Smart Rebound Damping Control System (16 Clicks): Completely distinct from the standard K-Alpha line, the K-Elite possesses a highly valuable Rebound dial that precisely controls the upward extension speed of the piston rod (rebound stroke) after compression. When you operate a large-displacement scooter at speeds over 100km/h or on a long tour, this feature ensures the rear wheel firmly grips the road, completely neutralizing bouncy floating sensations and extinguishing dangerous rear swingarm and rear-end wobble when cornering.
-
🔧 Thread Spring Preload Customization: The smart threaded collar allows you to easily increase or decrease the initial compression of the spring to suit the exact actual total payload. Whether you're gently cruising solo or heavily loaded with a passenger and luggage, KYB's premium steel alloy spring will fully absorb impact forces from potholes, completely extinguishing annoying clunks and preventing bottoming out.
-
📐 Flexible Length Adjuster Ring: This feature allows you to adjust the overall height to perfectly suit the scooter's stance. From the standard 390mm dimension, you can fine-tune to increase up to a maximum of +10mm. Monkey89 recommends adjusting the increase between +5mm and +8mm to subtly raise the ground clearance, helping you comfortably mount city curbs while keeping the piston stroke operating safely.
-
💨 Mono Tube Structure & Free-Piston System: The free-piston completely isolates the Japanese hydraulic oil from the compressed nitrogen gas in the piggyback reservoir. When the pair of shocks must bounce continuously at high frequencies on long journeys, the hydraulic oil does not aerate (preventing cavitation/foaming). Thanks to this, the damping system always maintains smooth stability, ultra-fast feedback, and avoids shock fade under hot weather conditions.
🛠️ COMPATIBILITY & REAL-WORLD INSTALLATION
-
✅ 100% Plug and Play OEM Mechanical Design: The pair of shocks possesses the standard 390mm height and a bottom Clevis (U-mount) structure that perfectly hugs the engine block, along with a top round eyelet that flawlessly matches the rear suspension frame of Honda SH300i and Honda SH350i models (all generations). You can confidently order and install them with a perfect fit using the stock bolts, without needing to fabricate custom CNC brackets.
-
✂️ Note Regarding Plastic Fairings During Installation: Because the high-performance K-Elite shock kit is equipped with an upward-facing gas-pressurized piggyback reservoir assembly, during installation you must make a slight aesthetic trim to the inner plastic mudguard/inner fender under the rear undercarriage to create free operating space for the piggyback reservoir. The trimmed area is completely hidden underneath, handled neatly and aesthetically by technicians, and ABSOLUTELY DOES NOT require cutting the painted exterior plastic fairings, fully preserving the inherent luxurious and classy beauty of the large SH.
-
📍 Installation Position: Installed symmetrically on both sides directly at the motorcycle's rear suspension system.
