I ordered a new set of NJB "Classic" shocks for my `73 Commando and when I went to install them I noticed they were a half inch longer than the old stock Girling shocks which ar 12.9".. I asked the seller and he told be that Norman Blakemore was supplying the 13.4" shocks for Commandos. I e-mailed Norman and he verified that he's been supplying 13.4" shocks for Commando's without a problem.
I realize it's only .5" difference. I'm a little worried the extra free length might cause the swing arm to contact the muffler brackets when the swing arm becomes unsprung. Anyone run 13.4" shocks on their Commando's?
Thanks,
