25mm longer shocks make them handle better IMO. You should try them.

If you stroke it more than twice; you're playing with it.

Too many bikes, too much time, ENOUGH SPACE, FINALLY! Never enough money.........

the 25mm longer shocks hit the exhaust when put on center stand you could get away with 15mm but over that and the castle nut hits the flat spot on the exhaust.
