If you go with very short shocks your ground clearance will disappear.
If you run a 4-1 pipe, you will kill the collector on bumps.
If you run a center stand, the stand will ground dangerously on corners.

Well As of now i dont have a 4 into 1 pipe but would like to, no center stand so i think ill be ok there, i am cutting off a the frame behind the shocks, but dont know if the part that is left will still rub, and since its a KZ 1100 do you think those shocks can handle that weight?? I only weight like 170. All thoughts would be appreciated, u guys have been a great help so far
P.S. i am new to motorcycles in general, will all shocks have the same mounting and eyelet size for my bike?
I know he just bolted them right on. They were actually pretty stiff because the geometry is different on a rebel so they worked. He ran a side winder exhaust. now he has a extended swingarm so he has longer shocks but they are mounted different.
thats all i know about it now,i will tell him to check his messages.
