My friend and I have started work on his 75' bobber. The complete build thread is over on the 650 garage site, but I'll probably be moving it here soon, since this seems to be a more active, and respectful, board. Anyway. My question is, since we plan on using the rear shocks from a honda rebel, do the eyes on the rebel shocks have the same dimensions as the stock 650 shocks? What I mean is, will they basically just bolt right onto the 650's stock shock mounts using the stock 650 shock rubbers and bolts? or will we have to make some spacers/sleeves/bushings or something? I know this is a fairly common swap, but I don't think anyone has ever addressed this before. I just want to be prepared for when we get the shocks, and not have to scramble the day we go to install them.
OR, is there any other shock that someone could recommend that is about the same size as the rebel shocks, and about the same price?
