Softail swingarm and shocks dimentions
Hey ya'll. New guy here. Im building a highly customized bike (I cant say what for fear of getting the boot! lol) Here is the thing. I want to retrofit part of the softail rear suspension to the bike. However, in my internet searching I cannot find any critical dimensions of the swing-arm or the shocks.
If you are still here: thanks!! More specifically:
Im looking for a reference from the center of the swing arm pivot to the shock mount position. I am using the shocks in exactly the same manner as HD designed them to be used and adapting my current swing arm to accept them.
Also, I am looking for the critical dimensions of the stock softail shocks. What is the measured distance from fully compressed to fully extended, and also at rest.
As a last resort I could purchase a softail swing arm and measure everything myself, but Id prefer not to do that.
Thanks a million.
