« on: January 28, 2009, 08:24:57 am »
What is the eye to eye distance on the rear shock for a CZ400 1973?
What was the Diameter of the rear shock spring ( not the wire diameter )?
Was the travel of the rear shock 86mm?
Was the CZ400 1974 rear shock the same specs?

Thanks YSS,
Do you know what the eye to eye dimension is?
How much travel does your shock deliver?

The stroke is depending on the lenght shock you require or prefere  . Perhaps give us a call to discuss your options .

Hi YSS,
I did not want to buy a set of shocks just yet, just after the eye to eye distance.
The manual does not tell me the measurement and the bike has S & W shocks on it at present. I would like to know if the eye to eye length is correct for the bike.

Does anybody know?

It would appear that this is a sketchy point.
My research shows that the eye to eye distance is 330mm to 350mm.

Hey Pete,
Is that 330mm eye to eye or over all length.

Hi Pete,
The eye to eye dimension refers to the centre of the mounting bolt at the top of the shock to the centre of the mounting bolt at the bottom of the shock.
