Hello,

I can't find the right answer on this so i'm going to ask it here. Hoping that some one can give me a answer on this.

Rear shock Honda cr/crf 250 Ohlins. --2007 original for the cr250 and crf250 -- 2007 46PRXW
Length 498mm
Sroke 133mm

rear shock Honda crf 250 Ohlins 08-13 TTX44 W
Length 493mm
Stroke 140mm

what will happen if the second is going on the first bike? Length difference is only 5mm so it will get lower to the ground??
What about the stroke?? How will it affect the link system?? will it affect how the bike rides/handles ?

Thanks

The bike will ride too low and the extra stroke length will cause the rear tire to hit the finder. The bike will not want to turn in the corners. I would suggest not using it.
