Bratman had his rear shock reworked with a heavier spring look on would mirror spacers help, he had them do the front to by www.boykinsuspension.com and you can get a custom shock from other suspension co, like Wilbers suspension, they plan on testing the bike and will have parts and shocks made to your specs.

The aftermarket shocks for the XB series from AST, Penske, Wilbers etc are pretty much there already and will certainly bolt straight on to the 1125R. It would only be individual spring rates that would need to be adjusted to suit riders preferences.

I think that could be true if the geometry is the same and not being a suspension expert and measuring everything we can not go by that assumption, the swingarm is a lever and if you change the pivot point then things are going to be different.
