Hi all .I'm building a trike for the missus using a virago xv 535 .
I want to put shorter rear shocks on to lower the back end (10.5 inch lenth)also giving more angle on front end)
Having trouble finding shocks which fit the mounting pins ,the top has 14mm pins and bottom has 10 mm but the shocks we buy all seem to have 13mm mounting holes , have tried getting new bushes but the rubber bush are all too small for the shocks we buy ??? Any suggestions please .its causing a headache at mo as can't rebuild it yet

Re: Shock replacement
What trike kit have you used? I don't understand why a kit maker would take away the strength from what Yamaha specified for mountings by going down in size.
