Hi all,
This is my first post in this very interesting and informative forum. So here comes my golden question ...
Yes, I did alot of research and alot of searching in this forum, therefore I did do my best in order to refrain posting a possible "repetitive" question, but still I cannot find the "perfect" answer.
I am a short person, and not keeping my feet flat on the ground when coming to a halt, really does nerve me, therefore I want to lower my thruxton. Quick searches narrowed down to the very good shocks from Progressive Suspension, which when using their tool "What fits my ride" gave me the results of 412 and 970 models with the 970-1008 giving me the lowest option, but only by just lowering 0.75"
Keeping in mind that the 970-1008 specs are as follows ...
13.60" ext. length 11.03" comp. length 2.57" travel
Now the question is : what is wrong, or rather, what is the impact that will keep me from fitting the 970-1005 ? Specs as follows ...
12.00" ext. length 9.60" comp. length 2.40" travel
To note that I've fitted the British Customs Fender Eliminator Kit
Any other suggestions are very very welcomed by me being on the noob side in this sector
thanks very much in advance !
