I have a Nitron race shock fitted in a 1999 M600, will it fit in to a 2005 620ie Monster?

This was to fit a loop arm susp - and will have a remote reservoir?
Dom - as long as the pre-load length is the same, I would think so.

Go and measure yours then. Sheesh, do I have to do everything??? :lol:

Also, whilst your other bike is in bits, how long is that shock?

Throw me a fricking bone :lol:

The ohlins off the 916 is 310 but i don't think it will fit.

If you look on the ohlins website you can get all the shock dimensions.

The shock-mountings are different for the 2 different monster swingarms too.
It lists
305mm for 620 with an eye each end
330mm for 600 with an eye at the top and a fork at the bottom

I love it when you talk technical :lol:

Hmm - I wonder if you can easily fit different ends to ohlins ?
I need a nice 330mm shock for the SS :devil:

So one of these would fit then?

I don't get my hands dirty, that's why I have 'technicians' :lol:

Richard at Harris performance will modify Ohlins shocks, so you could get a fork end changed for e rod end or vice-versa. Also longer or shorter damper rods and be fittted.
Alternatively shocks which alread have a ride height adjuster fitted could no doubt have a extension bit added (bit like the ones we had for DT175MX's and similar principle to the jack up adapters for early monsters)
