Reply #1 - 11/16/10 at 08:05:20 I put some new shocks on my bike that have NO give to them and they sit right on top of the tire. They are 9" center to center. That would probably be pretty darn good. By the way, my profile picture doens't show the new shocks. Here they are http://i237.photobucket.com/albums/ff252/waterboyjosh/shocks.jpg

I swapped them out for a pair of shocks I got from the Marketplace here and sold them to another member. I believe they were 9" eye to eye and 1/2" steel.
