They are available in many lengths including 350mm, 360mm (which is closest to the thruxtons 362mm, and 370mm. Each 10mm is about .4 inches in length. I ordered 350mm since I have lowered my forks in the triple trees about 25mm. Max at Traxxion says the thruxton has a good downward angle on the rear swingarm and this helps the bike corner better than a swingarm that is nearly level - which he claims makes the bike swing wide when exiting corners. So with this info I have decided not to lower the back end like I originally planned and just dropped it 12mm rather than 22mm.
