1100 rear shock length

[Sgt Bilco]

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

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

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 ?
