Rear shock length

Post by Watty »

Can anyone tell me the measurement hole centre to hole centre of standard set, standard rear shock. Mine is fitted with a Penske with ride height adjuster and just want a base setting to work from. Cheers, Andy.

346mm is the number I had but should be close enough :wink:
