HowTo: Ryker - Riser for the back shock

[chris56]

We use longer shocks on the front, but for our 2up tours we are still not satisfy with the expensive Fox-shock what was installed from beginning on, she is too low on the back.
After a longer Italian tour, where we bottomed out some times and got some cuts in the fender and on the swing arm, we got a tip to install a 1,5 inch shock- riser - works fine - our max-mount is unloaded now two inch higher than before, its a proto-typ, so no order-number for it ..
(should have installed it 20.000 miles ago .)
Would be better and cheaper if Elka or Fox is offering a longer (400mm) shock for the back, the 360mm is too short ..

Hopefully some will shoot this idea out to them and maybe design some thing like that!!! A shock with a longer throw should be a piece of cake for them.
