Re: replacement shocks
Yeah, JC Whitney has some that look almost the same as those and not real expensive.

Re: replacement shocks
Hagon in England have exactly what you are looking for. It is also available in 'Classic Shroud', that is a painted shroud instead of chrome. The painted shroud is black but you can repaint. Part number is 31208. Approx per pair 120GBP which is $200CD, or $170USD. Top product, German TUV approved. I am going to use them on my '66 CB77 restoration. Took me about 2 days of searching the internet to find these shocks.
Has anyone made the Hagon shocks work on a CB77. I spoke with Dave Quinn and obtained dimensional info on the shocks. He said that there would be some clearance issues.
For my 65 Superhawk, I don't see how I can use the Hagon rear shocks and still keep the chain guard. Perhaps with a spacer between the wheel and swingarm on the chain side that will move the swingarm out a bit. Otherwise looks like no go...

I've used the Hagon shocks on my 1962 CB77 with factory chainguard, and my 1966 CB77 with UK repro chainguard with no clearance difficulties. As the lower clevis is substantially thicker material on the Hagon shock, you will have to turn the clevis so that the lower shock bolt (with lockwasher) will now install from the outside. There will be only about a half a thread of the bolt exposed toward the inside of the clevis, so there's no room for a jam nut.
