Emgo | Chrome / Black Cafe Racer Shock Absorbers Type 7

Looking for a pair of period-correct rear shock absorbers for a classic British motorcycle or a cafe racer build? The Emgo Type 7 is a chrome and black eye-to-eye shock absorber set designed as a direct replacement for many classic English machines, including BSA, Triumph, Norton and Matchless models, and is also a popular choice for cafe racer conversions such as the BMW R75/7 and Yamaha XS650. These rear suspension units (also called rear shocks) are available in three lengths - 315 mm, 325 mm and 340 mm - to match different frame designs and production eras, combining a chromed body finish with open chrome springs for an authentic retro look. Supplied as a pair with mounting hardware, they suit riders restoring or customising classic bikes who want period-styled suspension without compromising ride quality.
