750l rear shock length?
Does anyone know what the stock rear shock length is for a 1981 GS750L? I am looking into some new ones and I believe my bike was lowered by the PO. With the bike on the center stand the measurement from center of shock eye to center of clevis eye I get 315mm....seems short. Do I need to have the shocks removed to get an accurate measurement? Thinking about the Progressive Vintage 12 series shocks. Thanks for the help!

Progressive seems to recommend the 13" shocks:
13 inches is 330mm, so it appears your shocks are a bit short. Or perhaps Progressive simply doesn't make a 12 1/2" shock so they recommend the 13".1983 GS850G, Cosmos Blue.
