Shock Length?

Discussion in 'Supersport (1974-2007)' started by broadie, Mar 31, 2018.

  1. Hi can any of you fine gents please tell me the length of a 1997 ss750 shock?
    Also would an st4 shock be compatible?
    Many thanks Broadie.
     
  2. Dont think ST4 shock will work properly. ST have rising rate system, SS are cantilever.
    A lot it Carby guys fit SSie shock as they are longer by about 10mm to increase rear and make steering sharper.
     
  3. ST4 - No.

    And it all depends on which swingarm the OP has - aluminium or steel.

    Showa in aluminium and Sachs Boge in steel.

    IIRC the IE Sachs Boge may be OK in aluminium swingarms as the shock eyes are smaller than those on the Sachs shock fitted to the carbed SS.
