what would happen if

[crowrod]

what would happen, if you put a longer rear shock on, say 12 inches instead of he normal 10?. Will it raise the seat height?. And if you changed the links could you lower it back down?

In best mythbusters terms, I would say plasable.

[N3FOL]

Ahhhh yes for sure.

[karlfitt]

Would change ratios on the linkage.

 

What is the new ratio and what spring rate would you need??

[friesman]

what issues are you having that makes you want a longer shock?

[crowrod]

alternative to stock, cheaper prices, more choices and availability. I know by changing the center to center length on the links changes the height up or down wondering if some thing could safely be done.

I heard a rumor that someone is going to try to put a 1st gen shock in a 2nd gen, but won't know anything about it for quite a while yet...
