1100 rear shock length

Sgt Bilco · Nov 11, 2009

Does anyone know what the length of a rear shock on an 1100 should be?

I'm feckin about with my 1100 and it is sitting way too low at the back so I need to see what the heck is going on. I currently have a Hyperpro on there and it just doesn't seem to sit right :nenau

Just measured my OEM rear 1100 shock and it's 380mm between the centres of the upper / lower mounting bolt holes with it off the bike and horizontal.

Fournales quote 385mm here: http://www.fournales.fr/catalogue/2_Roues/MONOC_-_Aprilia_-_Beta_-_BMW_-_Buell_-_Cagiva_-_Ducati.htm

Thanks

I'll measure mine tomorrow and see if my Hyperpro is for those of smaller stature :augie

One thought, how easy is it to get the bike onto the centre stand? Any harder with the new shock?

Do you want the length laden or unladen ?

In the bike, out the bike, on the centre stand ?
