I put a pair off a Sportster on the back of mine . It raised the rear about an inch (I'm 5'10") , now it fits a little better. Raising the rear took a little of the rake out of the front and effectly raised the front too.

I still have the originals in the barn , if ya want you can have them for $10.oo plus shipping ---- say $20.oo total .

Got the longer ones off ebay. Savage shocks 10.5 inch. eye to eye.

Lancer had some 11.5 inch shocks on his bike and I loved the way it handled so I got some for mine , changed the whole geometry and it sits a little taller too.

If something still works and squeaks, I spray it with lubricant and go till it quits. I'm cheap, but I think that is a virtue on this forum. :)

Thanx guys, first I'll follow Boofer's advice but I'm not forgetting MMRanch's offer.
I'll keep you posted.
