need help!

Post by milesmiles » Wed Dec 27, 2017 8:12 am

Hey everyone. Can y'all please kindly measure "eye to eye"(center of bolt) on your rear shock. Then list that along with year make and model of your bike. Doesn't have to be exact, but this would help greatly. Need several options for this.......PLEASE

Using the three bikes listed so far and double checking the replacement information on Öhlins website you may be able to find a lot of info there if "doesn't need to be exact" means the differences below in red are acceptable?

12 1/4” ‘15 GSX-R 750 .......... Öhlins=319mm +2 -4 = 12.5591" (-4) 12.4016" (+2) 12.6378" nominal difference = 12.5591-12.250 = 0.3091"

11 3/4 inches. 2009 CBR1000rr ........ Öhlins=302mm +4 -2 = 11.8898" (+4) 12.0472 (-2) 11.811 nominal difference = 11.8898 - 11.750 = .1398"

13 5/8 inches '10 Kawasaki C14 ........ Öhlins=355.5mm = 13.996063" nominal difference = 13.996 - 13.625 = .371"

Looking for something to put on the mini moto gp project. The yz85 shock is a little over 15". Much more things I have to consider but it's a start. I'm trying to cut some of the cost now that I have to cut down the front forks and it will be more expensive than expected.

I'd check with the cafe racer crew as this is a pretty long shock for a traditional sportbike setup. However a quick Google search shows....

Hmmmmmm. I may actually try and see if it would work and how it would then sit.

I know the thruxton Works, but haven't found one that is cheap enough yet
