as far as I know, no. the shock shaft wont extend fully through the perch, and you wont be able to tighten the shock.

I was wondering if there was a way we could run a centimeter or two thicker bump stop to further shorten the stroke of the shock absorber. Just looking for a solution to bottoming against the wheel well on extreme dips during hard turns. Speedy? Anyone?

the bump stop is on the shock shaft and doesnt have any influence on the bolt design on the top of the shockOriginally posted by jnenad16

i cant see why you cant buy another bump stop and cut it to the length you require and put it on the shock shaft aswell as the original on each side.
but my advice would be to just do some panel beating or cutting of the liner of the rear guard, or run a spacer

come to think of it a bit better,you are right, I forgot there is a machined groove and a washer that limit the shaft from extending too far, so this allows for extra room. my bad on previous post, I was too tired.Originally posted by c280nz
