That's a good idea, thanks. That way I'll know if a different sized link would work, or a shorter shock would be better.

Thanks for the reply - there is a linkage, but I cannot put a longer dog-bone due to the closeness of the linkage to the swingarm. I have been looking at pit bike shocks, but many are around...

Anyone have recommendations for aftermarket shocks (the type on ebay) that are designed for pit bikes/dirt bikes in the 300-320mm length (eye-eye)? Any brands to avoid? Thanks.
