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 appear to have made the same school boy error again.....

I always get the ratio the wrong way around, but then physics was never my strong point!! Come to think of it I can't remember what was???

Thanks, again, for the correction.
