Re: What shocks?

Kitaco 305mm shocks will probably be the easiest shocks to get

Re: What shocks?

To keep the bike level. From what I remember, here are the recommended shock lengths for swingarm lengths (someone correct me if I'm wrong):

265mm for stock swinger,
280mm for +6cm
305mm for +10cm
330mm for +16cm

Even more so reason to get the longer shocks. You'd have a major chopper stance.

PM me an addy if you want some pics of the 305mm KYBs I have for sale.
