Slabby 750… longer shock?

[Brians 7/12]

Will a longer shock fit & if so will it do the same as dropping in a modified 1100 linkage to raise the height?… & would it raise it by the same amount… say one that is 45mm longer?… or is that not possible !?

Yes but you will have to trim the knuckle.

A 45mm longer shock will have the linkage hard against the stops. You can grind material away here and there to gain a bit of clearance, but 45mm is a lot.

I run and early r6 shock tgat is around 18mm longer than stock, still had to grind material away to get enough sag in the rear suspension.

Buy this and be done with it

How much does 18mm give you in ride height !?

Nice… would the reservoir fit on totally standard frame & bodywork or would it interfere with the battery box or something?

The maximum you can get from the linkages  and a bit more with the grinding.
