I dont want to use the rusty ones I have (she refuses), and sure aint paying 100 bucks to Taiwan for red ones.

Sooo-- there has to be another shock that will fit? I know my HD shocks but nada about Honda stuff. I am building a mild custom now I guess, so any ideas, thoughts etc...

Gotta be something that fits and would look cool. I am thinking Jap dirt bike? Chrome coiled springs would be different....

Any good "spring type shock with the same mounts and lengh will do. I would be interested in buying the old ones as I rebuild them.

Check these out.

I can't believe how cheap they are. JCW has a lot of motorcycle universal parts that work great. I have ordered handlebars for different bikes with great results. I'm about to try some of these shocks and put them on a friends older bike.

Are those the ones listed for a CL, Spokes?

can't find a CA95

The JCW cycle parts like smithers mentioned are universal. You will have to measure the lengh of the CA shock and shoot from the hip. Remember the CA95 shocks have a split lower mount, so be carefull about letting your shocks go. They can be made presentable until you find what you want.

But if your willing, does the $25 includes ship? pm me and we will go from there.

Can anyone give me a JP part number with correct mounts??

I am having trouble navigating that site. My shocks are 10 and 1/2 centers on holes.
