Reposting main Info from the other threads :
Here you go, we got it right!!! Genuine Honda Rubicon Canadian Trail Edition Shocks available in the US for approx $320 a SET of FOUR for FOREMANS and Rubicons!! I was able to pick them up the way to Southern Powersports to get my wife's Sport Quad.
I was happily surprised to find out the CTEs are 5-way adjustable, for some reason I thought they were only 3-way.
If anyone wants to get a set of these just call MRCycles (828) 277-8600 , press 300 at the prompt, ask for SHAWN. Tell him you want the "Canadian Trail Edition Shock Special" tell him David said to call, he will know what to do. The price should be right around $320, plus shipping. He can have them in 2-3 days and then shipping time to you. Please be aware we don't know how long we can pull this off and have no idea of supply.
They are truly Bad A$$.. Will post feedback on them next week, going on a family bike trip this weekend.
Just so it is clear I have NO affiliation, financial or other wise with MR Cycles. Shawn has just always taken good care of me and worked with me in finding and getting special parts like this situation.
A big THANK YOU to Honda Mechanic for working with me in finally getting the correct part numbers, he's the BEST!!

If we can get some measurements of the distance from top to bottom shock "eyes" on the earlier models we could confirm fitment on those also.
Also someone else may know if the standard shocks are interchangable from the eariler versions to the later ones (or vice versa).
We could check some of the fitment guides for some fo the aftermarket shock companies which would also help confirm the year ranges for their shocks.
