How do you work that out Ali, my 916 shock is mounted to a rocker that gives a ratio of about 2:1 where as the cantilever set up of my 600SS has a ratio of 1.9 to 1, 20 if I add 10 mm to either shock the 916 rear will be lifted 20mm w.r.t. the rear spindle and the 600SS by 19mm w.r.t the rear spindle, the angle of the SS shock will actually determine the rising rate part of the ratio as it travels through a slight arc.
I have tried a few places for a SSie shock but no luck, Jim at Bike Enders thought he had one but it turned out to be a shock off a ST4 which after digging it out he then put on Ebay
