So what I'm after is anyone with a aftermarket rear shock could you measure the width of shock spring please ?

I will keep updateing this first post as now measurements are post
I think it would be a good bit of info for anyone doing a conversion either exhaust or swing arm .
Thanks for your particapance :thumbup:

Standard ----- --80mm
White power--- 85mm
Hagon-----------73mm
Nitron------------85mm
Ohlins---==--- 83mm
Penske ------- --82mm
And any others
Bang on with the WP measurement, what side have you got your remote fitted too pls?

mines going on in march, iam looking forward to getting it fitted, any hints on the adjustment as i have no idea where the nuts need to be, iam 14 stone and like it "Firm" and i have been told 347mm ( i think)between bolt holes for the height!!!
