Does anybody know what shock size is on my 83 650L. I need new shocks but Im not sure what size to look at. There are some on ebay that look just like mine and their 12 1/2" center from eye to eye. Imeasured mine while they are on the bike and thats what I came up with, Please help............This sight is awsome!!! I wouldnt have gotten a gs if it were'nt for this sight.Tags: None

A half inch one way or the other won't make any difference.
Make sure you mount the shocks so that there's no play between the mounting studs and the shock, yet they can still swivel a bit as needed. New Progressive shocks come with an assortment of bushings in different thicknesses to fit many different bikes.1983 GS850G, Cosmos Blue.
