With the help of Rob Staley and AVO I sourced and fitted an AVO Series D coil over shock to my D Comet, when I did this I chose to have the shorter shock with the benefit of a lower ride height, perfect for me, but at the time Rob did warn me it would make the stand a little harder to pull onto the stand due to the stand legs engaging with the ground surface sooner, and changing the initial angle of operation.
I did not find that too much of a problem, better than purchasing a one armed Bullworker, but in June I managed to hurt my shoulder, and it is still not right yet, I remember when the standard Armstrong shock was fitted the pull lever was very easy to operate, and I would like that ease of use back.
I need to shorten the stand legs accordingly, currently when on the stand the rear tyre sits 70mm above the ground when on a flat surface, I am aiming to get that distance somewhere around 20mm above the ground, but I only want to take a hacksaw and arc welder to the stand legs the once, would anyone like to suggest an accurate dimension for me to achieve this.
Thanks in advance
