The Nitron R2 I got used (complete with a weight-appropriate spring) is actually 335mm eye-to-eye (with the adjustable bottom fitting wound all the way in).

I was intending to get it serviced & shortened; but now I'm thinking maybe I should just leave the length alone. Even noodling just fitting it as-is and seeing what it feels like...

Just out of interest, what model/lengths tie bars are commonly used to achieve the same jacking effect with the stock shock length?



Hmm - I don't really crave ground clearance or quick steering, but yeh, running wide on exit seems like a trait best corrected to me.
DU046 is the correct one for the S4 and 620 and others:-

Tie bar was an aftermarket one for a 999SBK from Peter Dorsch Racing which maybe called MVS nowadays.
