    Those also look the same as the ones in Addy's link... would be worth finding out more about them.

    If I go with the progressives you could have my stock ones but they are also eye to eye....

      Thanks Dan, i really appreciate the offer. But im not entirely sure how i could mount eye to eye to a swingarm set up for clevis. I saw someone post about it not too long ago, and i havent seen an update since, but they just ran a bolt thru the eye of the shock and the eye on the swinger...Im not sure thats such a good idea, as not only does it offset the shock, which im not sure if that would have negative effects on handling, but also creates a shear point accross that bolt. With my heavy self on it plus the bikes own weight, spells disaster i would think...PAINFULL at that...lol

        I think you could make up an adapter bracket fairly easily. My shocks are 13" & you said you wanted some extra length.....

          That's about 1/3 the price of Race Tech emulators

          Please note this is not my shop, no connection at all except as a soon-to-be customer
          You reckon those $49 cartridge emulators would work on a GS, My old Katana 1100 could sure use some and I have to pull the forks apart anyway so drilling the rods is all good?
