Got a new front & rear shock,When I put the rear one next to the old one it's about 2inch shorter (adjusters set the same height) will this bo ok or do I need an extension piece not removed front yet,so don't know if that's also shorter,,,longer or ? engines out for repair so thought I'd get shocks done while it's clear,also under sealed it. cheers g

SORTED Thanks for that Henri. There was one on the old shock It was well camouflaged with rust, it just blended in with the bolt But when I went to measure the size I spotted it Cheers g

Mines also carbone adjustable,, got the shock on, but engines still out awaiting malossi so should I adjust it to lowest setting before I put the engine back in ? Front one will be fitted once the engines back in (just unstable and no room to move at the moment)

I have a Carbone adjustable rear to fit, will be fitting it on lowest setting then working up to the highest setting that's still comfortable for my back ( spondylitis) and doesn't bottom out, I'm 15.5 stone so may end up at highest setting, lol😉 Ride safe J☺
