Would someone with an NC700X shock off the bike please supply me some reasonably accurate measurements? I'm not ready to remove mine just yet and I'm not confident of the accuracy of measurements I've tried to take with it on the bike. My goal is to find an inexpensive, fully adjustable sport bike shock to replace the NC unit and to do that I'll need the following dimensions of the NC shock:
1. Eye center to eye center length of the shock.
2. Outside diameter of the spring.
3. Free length of the spring (or length of the spring and approximate distance the adjusting collars have been threaded up).
4. Width of the upper mount (through which the mounting bolt goes)
5. Width of the lower mount (through which the mounting bolt goes)
I bought a CBR600 F4i shock for my first trial and have those measurements in case they're of any interest:
1. Eye to eye - 12"
2. OD of spring 3 5/16'
3. Free length of spring - between 5 1/2" - 6 1/2" (estimated)
4. Width of upper mount 1"
5. Width of lower mount 1 3/8"
The F4i shock seems to be a little shorter than the NC shock which shouldn't be a problem, but it has a hose for the remote reservoir sticking out one side of the upper part of the shock body. I expect that to complicate fitting it into the NC chassis.
My interest in the spring length is in case it's necessary to use the NC spring on the replacement shock body.
