Important to know

Before purchasing or installing shocks with a different length than the OEM specification, ensure that altering wheel travel won't cause clearance issues. Check for potential contact between the swingarm/axle and exhaust, as well as the chain/belt guard or tire. Heavy Duty Applications are recommended for bikes operating at or near the manufacturer’s maximum load rating over 50% of the time.
