Hi all,
Any info on specifications of the rear shocks of the new V7 stone? Ogling parts?
Thanks.
Easy Rider.

I've fitted EMC suspension shocks. Feel very nice.

I think he's asking what are the specs for the stock shocks, not what to replace with ...

Can I ask why?

Just for reference, and may not be relevant as somewhat different model, I have the 850 special with gas damped progressive shocks which seem to work very well as far as I can tell, mind you I'm not scratching or off roading with it nor am especially heavy.

For what it’s worth, I too have a v 850 special and am also very happy with the shocks, though again I am no racer nor heavy.   These KYB models are a vast improvement over the shocks fitted to the v7 iii.

732mm to centres.

Reason why I changed?
1. Didn't like the rebound damping
2. Because I could
Now I have much better damping and adjustment of same
