Wanted - Do you have cheap 13.5" (or so) shocks sitting around?

[CoconutPete]

Well, I have my 79' Special back on the road. Superbike bars and Counterbalance Cycles seat along with some new tires sure changes the look of this bike. One thing I'm realizing is that the rear needs to come up a bit. I think 1" is the right amount, but I'd like to test that theory with some not super-expensive shocks. The stockers measure 12.5" so if you have any laying around measuring about 13.5" or a bit (not much) taller, let me know. Thanks. Located in Charlotte, NC if that matters.

These are real cheap and lenght adjustable mine adjust from 13 to 13.5

I should have a useable pair from a standard. lets say some rust but good shafts, to your door $30. can confirm length and take a couple of pics.

That works. I'll be out of town for about a week, but I'm interested if they measure at least 13.5".

I checked but no joy on 13.5" sorry, all mine measure 12.75

Oh well, thanks for looking

I have a set from a DOHC Honda CB750. 13.5 center of eye to eye.
I can get you a photo if you want.
$40 shipped.


*whoops NM, I think the lower mounts are wrong for your bike. They're flanged.
