The compressed length eye-to-eye may vary between brands, even where the length eye-to-eye is equal when extended, due to different suspension travel afforded.
For example, 13" Brand A shock may have a longer or shorter travel than 13" Brand B shock.
The question should probably be what replacement shocks will provide sufficient clearance at full compression.
Could remove one existing shock, for purpose of more easily measuring eye-to-eye on the other shock at full compression.
Compare the eye to eye distance of the attached shock at full compression when something hits the tire with the eye-to-eye distance between the removed shock at full compression.
The replacement shock should add the necessary distance eye-to-eye at full compression.
If the replacement shocks are the same brand as the existing shocks, the additional eye-to-eye distance at maximum extension is likely very close to the additional distance needed at full compression.
Good Fortune!

Oem shocks on KZ900 LTD were Boge Mulholland, with pre-load adjustments as the rider might prefer.BIGKEVIN wrote: I just went out and looked at the shocks and they appear to be adjustable. I was told that they are shocks that came on the KZ900. Are the stock shocks adjustable ?
It's probably difficult to find a rear motorcycle shock that doesn't have pre-load adjustments.
Good Fortune!
