Took off one shock this morning, let the bike bottom on the fender and measured the distance.
10" !!!!!!!!! So I have only 2" suspension travel before the tire hits the fender.
If I do not change the fender and gain some space, my shocks must be min 10" fully compressed.
Who knows what is the fully compressed length of a 12" and 13" air shock?

this is why I have gone for these,in addition to choosing the length I got to to choose the spring rate specific to my needs.

Just had along discussion with Dave at Hagon UK,he explained to me why certain sportser models have such crap suspension,basically the shocks are too short and therefore don't have enough travel,the exception being the Iron,and XR.he said for the shocks to work properly they need to be at least 13"after he talked me through all their variants and no pressure from him decided to go for these, they are being handbuilt to my specifications.
