Thanks - that answers the question. (Direct stock replacement as far as mounting dimensions).

Sounds like Marty is well versed on the swingarm extension thing - correct ?

Thanks, Eric

Actually if you look at the pic I posted of the front shocks you'll see the Elka is about 1" longer, weather that's the standard length or it's because there set up for +2 a arms I don't know.
Oh yea Marty is well versed on all this stuff!! He Da Man!!

I'm getting ready to swap out the rears & I'll put up a side by side of those too.

With what the shocks & Covers cost I can't believe how bad the covers fit!!
I mean come on they're Elka covers on Elka shocks & the fit is terrible!!
What's up with that??

Here's where I mounted my rear rezzie.
It's the only spot I found that I could put it & still reach the compression adjustment.
Any other ideas on where to mount it?Rear rezzie

I have an 01, so I guess the only good thing about an 01 is that it has a provided mounting bracket for the rezzy. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
