Taller rear shock for GS1100E

[selecw]

I'm fitting a gsxr front end and want a shock that's about 340-345mm tall vs. the 330 originals. Any recommendations on what will fit?
Thanks

Bah. Ikon makes a replacement shock for the CB1100F that fits. It's 14.3" long just under an inch longer than stock. Works well for speeding up the handling. Wouldn't want to go much longer than that. If you're sticking with the stock swinger that will work great as it's eye to clevis mount same as stock. If you are changing things up a set of KYB shocks from a ZRX will be awesome. 14.5". I have a set. Low miles $350 an they're yours but they're eye to eye mount.

Plus one on the longer Honda shocks - this was considered 'standard procedure' by many over here. The Honda frame mounting pin is about 2mm thicker so you'll have to pinch a couple of Suzuki bushes to make them fit. Hagon can supply as well for a bit cheaper (but not as good as Ikon).

Ikon 7610-1413 vs Ohlins 36E?

Looks like the Ikon is $360 on their website but $275 at Z1, altho it looks like it's out of stock there...
