Title: Ohlins on MC5, What length?
Post by: Dennis Jones on May 16, 2008, 08:17:20 AM

I'm finally going to pop for a set of Ohlins shocks for my 175 MC5 and I would like to know what length shocks you guys that have MC5s are using. Also what is the length of the stock Zokes? Since I started this project with just a frame I don't have a starting reference.

On my 77 250 GS6 I am running 13 3/4" Works mounted in the MX position and that works fine.

Thanks in advance for any help.

I am currently running 13 1/4 Fox spring shocks but the actual stock length is 13 1/2, I love these shocks but I wished they were just a bit longer.... it would really help in the steering department...
