Eh it's all good. The dimensions you gave me are great. At the very least it's enough to tell me if there is something I can make work or if this is a lost cause. Thanks again. I appreciate it.

Looks great to me. Any idea what the collapsed length would be by chance?

Okay, so I'm getting ready to upgrade the front and rear suspension on my bike. the front I'm going with the 1500 progressive springs (no surprise there) but the back is where I'm getting crazy ideas of what to do. My idea is to do air ride. Before I get shunned, I'm not wanting to drop it in the weeds. The reason for the air ride is the ability to adjust the rear suspension for different loads, ie: solo riding, solo with luggage for a long trip, and 2-up riding. That way I could have a nice ride with any load and not squat the bike way down.

So now that I explained my reasoning, does anyone happen to have a rear shock that has been removed that they can measure? I attached a document that hopefully has all the dimensions I'll need, but please include any others that you think I might need. For the overall length, collapsed and extended lengths would be best. I also know that since this is a metric bike, a good deal of the dimensions will be in metric units, so that part doesn't matter. I'd prefer to not have to disassemble my bike just to check measurements. Another option might be for me to borrow an old rear shock so I can get the dimensions myself. If that's the case, I can pay for shipping both ways.

Thanks for your help.
