Fox Double Clicker; would probably fit on a 2nd Gen GSXR 750/1100 but would need to check those required lengths

It may even have ride height adjustment. Looks a little like it on the clevis end.

adjustments

so can anyone tell me where to find a guide on what the adjustments are and what they effect? like the shrader valve in the end of the reservoir, threaded castle nut on the outside of the shock, dial on the end of the reservoir, the clevis is adjustable, I'll replace that with an eye to make the shock a total of 13" like the original on my GS1150, any others i've missed? I'll also need to replace the line that connects the shock and reservoir. thanks for any help/links guys.

...

Just keep in mind that, unless the spring rate matches exactly, you may need to change the length of the shock to change the preload and get your ride height where you want it.

More Fox Shox info

The fox TC has an Eibach spring on it according to this article on the cycleforums dot com website(just search "recoated Eibachs"). I took the spring off my shock and measured it. the dimensions are 7" tall, by 2.25" inner diameter. Have to determine the spring rate yet. This website sells Eibach springs from 150 to 1100 lb/in in the 7X2.25" size. Found some info out there about spring rates, the lb/in is how much force it takes to compress the spring one inch. Working on trying to find a calculator to determine what lb/in for my bike. I'm gonna keep plugin' at it, hope this helps someone.
