I need to replace my shock, is bad i measure it from bolt to bolt center of the bolt and is 16.5in, is that the correct way to measure it?? Its a 99 x1 and the only shocks i find are the 14.5 will that work or what will i need to make it work?? | ||

Actually it's a 14.7 inch shock. You will need to order a 14.7 front mount as well. American Sport Bike has both. Ask for Al. | ||

And on an X1 going from the long to the short shock, you'll need the corresponding chin fairing bracket - that is - if you are still running a chin fairing. Those pesky details, 1313 | ||

You can get a Penske or the twin motorcycles shock in the 16 1/2 in length. Way better than the stocker. Bit of money though. But you wouldn't have to swap brackets and find the chin bracket. | ||

Yes they do sell the bracket but it is a separately sold item.http://americansportbike.com/newdir/Item/17396-S Your choices of shocks are a new stock shock like the third on pictured. http://www.americansportbike.com/images/Shock_abso rbers.jpg I do not know the price and availability of a stock shock but you will need the bracket and it is sold separately. Your other options are: A Penske http://americansportbike.com/newdir/Item/5194-83 A twin motorcycle http://americansportbike.com/newdir/Item/5191-17 Or a Works performance http://americansportbike.com/newdir/Item/6060 Each of these shocks is available in long or short configuration. |
