Rear shock spring Widths

lloydie · Post by **lloydie** » Tue Jan 21, 2014 6:12 am

While ck and I are messing with the sssa ( single sided swing arm ) we have noticed a large size difference in the width of my white power shock spring and a standard shock spring .

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

Standard ----- --80mm
White power--- 85mm
Hagon-----------73mm
Nitron------------85mm
Ohlins---==--- 83mm
Penske ------- --82mm
And any others

No idea if my spring is aftermarket or if it's just the reservoir thing.. I'll go check later if I have time though

You sure you know how to use a measuring stick? If seen what you like with a screw driver

Hagon is 73mm I think.
I made it 75mm with the shock sock on, but checking on Hagon's website it seems to be 73.

Nitron is about 85mm spring outer diam, but it was a bit dark and i was trying to avoid getting chain oil on my shirt, so I might update that later when i have a more serious look
