I've been all over the internet looking for rear shocks for my scrambler build. I haven't been able to find anything.

Is there anyway I could adjust the frame of my bike to accept a wider variety of shocks? I see that the OEM shock setup is one eyelet and a fork that attaches to the frame. Most shocks I see online have two eyelets. Could I put the shocks from a different type of motorcycle on my cb750?
 
I have a post I made before that's too similar to this one. How do I delete a thread I started?
 
A lot of aftermarket sellers like ikon and hagon should b able to supply your requirements.....
I know somebody makes shocks to fit it. The CB750L I bought in December has aftermarket shocks on it, but I can't find a sticker or a name on them anywhere. I know they're aftermarket because they don't have the chrome outer covers like the stock shocks.

I’m not so sure those aren’t stock shocks. Because I’d bet have the same exact ones on my bike. When googling old promo images of the 750L, I’ve seen that they had different shocks in different images. As well as different front brake master cylinders.

The original shocks had a chrome body and chrome springs - with no chrome spring cover like earlier K models. Your shocks appear to have a black body - could be Progressive Suspension brand from "back in the day". Original brochure pic below:

Yeah, that's what the shocks on my first 750L looked like back in '95. The black ones on this bike look fairly new, but the bike didn't have but about 250 miles put on it in the last 7 years (I have maintenance records). I've already ridden it further than that just since mid-December.
Bike actually has a bunch of new parts, shocks, 4 into 2 exhaust, new aftermarket control pods on the bars, etc.
