Many Thanks to Ross and Clarence for assisting in this matter, thats a great help . I assumed they where longer .(the shocks, I mean ) But this is straight from the experts and the bike looks also balanced . One more thing , if you dont mind , what is the thicknes of the wire on the shocks ? It looks about 8.2 or 8.5 mm . The rest I can work out. Thanks again , I did send a calendar to Gator for you . Enyoy it.
