Would anyone please be kind enough to check the between centres dim on the 1125 rear shock, if they have one available?

Many thanks,

Nige.

I just got around to thinking about this again.

Anybody got the between centres dim on an 1125 rear shock then, please?

Nige.

Kev is probably around 6 ft. and if you believe everything you read on this site, he does like to ride, but at times he is spoilt for choice which model to ride first

If it matters I'm about 5 6.

I am also 55 which is probably a factor too.
I can manage.
It would just be more comfortable if it were an inch or so lower.

no slur intended i was curious as i said i am 5' 5" and 53 and as happy as a Cheshire cat. all three of my buells are like your favorite gloves. i dialed them in for my weight and height after fitting the low seats to them and i love em

Aye, low seat isn't an option on a Firebolt.

That is why I am looking at this idea.

I,ve worked it out that if you let 18 psi out of each tyre it will be about an inch lower. Hope this helps

The 1125 rear (stock) shock length is 320 mm (eye to eye)

but probably it does not fit on a xb frame

You can get the seat re-worked on R models to gain an extra inch of leg room - Joe (littlebutquick) did this when he got his CR (same seat), he recently tried to sell his seat on Ebay -

You could try contacting him through Ebay - I don't think he comes on here any more ...

How does he reach the floor now?
