🏍️ GENUINE KYB RED REAR SHOCKS FOR HONDA SH300 / SH350 (390MM) K-ELITE JAPANESE TECHNOLOGY
Hello there! When you pilot a powerful large-displacement machine like the Honda SH350i or SH300i, the stock suspension system is often easily overloaded by the engine's power and the scooter's substantial weight. The frustrating feeling of continuous spine-jarring "clunks" when crossing potholes, along with the highly dangerous bouncy floating and rear-end wobbling every time you accelerate rapidly or corner aggressively, constantly diminishes your confidence.
Deeply understanding your desire to own an undercarriage worthy of a large-displacement scooter, Monkey89 proudly introduces: Genuine Japanese KYB K-Elite Red Rear Shocks (390mm) for Honda SH300 / SH350. Bearing a fiery and proud Sport Racing Red hue on the spring system and premium CNC aluminum piggyback reservoir, this masterpiece is born to re-establish absolute rock-solid stability for you on every journey.

⚙️ DETAILED TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
🚀 REAL-WORLD PERFORMANCE OF THE K-ELITE RED
-
⚖️ 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 high speeds 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: By utilizing an auxiliary piston that completely isolates the Japanese hydraulic oil and the compressed nitrogen gas in the reservoir, oil aeration (cavitation/foaming) when the shock bounces continuously at high frequencies is entirely eliminated. 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 luxurious and vibrantly sporty beauty of the large SH series.
-
📍 Installation Position: Installed symmetrically on both sides directly at the motorcycle's rear suspension system.
