    Default short travel shocks

    r the shocks shorter themselves,or r they the same length as standed with just a shorter travel inside the standed length strut tube,i am fitting shorter travel shocks to my old vn and just wondering if i will need a spacer in the strut tube if they r actually shorter

    they are shorter well mine were, but the bottom half seems to be the same length anyway so no need for spacers.

    rear ones are shorter overall, but it doesn't matter, just means it doesn't hang as much when you jack it up, i.e. springs don't fall out
