im fitting gsx running gear to an old cb 900i want to keep it a twin shock rear end [for reasons only known to me ]so any advice would be greatly rcieved i think ive got the front end sorted but am a bit worried about the ride height ive seen these conversions done before and the old girl sits very low the forks im puttin in are same length as originals its the rear ithink will catch me out

[sharky]

What length are the new shocks ? Surely if they're the same height .... But first PICS...WE WANT PICS.
As you might have seen I love the ol' skool look...

Thanx mate ill take anything
ive got loadsa ideas [due to lack of funds ive got to make alot of stuff as i cant afford the inflated prices for some of the really nice gear thats for sale ] butt. i do have a supply of billet ally and access to mills and lathes so u never know ...any way where i work we rebuild excavator rams etc may be i can get some experience strippin them as well as using them for sizing etc
