The stock dogbone is longer but the different shock may be shorter than what come on there originally it sounds like. If your satisfied with the handling characteristics now, I suggest you find adjustable rearsets that allow you to taylor for your comfort and/or get handlebar risers, IF, it's really comfort your after.

SuperMotard may be in your future...

 

the different shock IS a few mm shorter... and i really dont have ANY problem with the bike exept that i'd like it to be taller. that way when im sitting still my legs can be extended... YA DIG!??

 

get a cruiser then

 

NEVER!!!!

 

i would
dem things are comfy

 

dont feel right tho..... i tried buying a vulcan fro my bro and test rode it.... just didnt feel good... like, i coulda sat on the bike for days (comfty as hell) but it didnt ride as fun and wasnt responsive, handled like a cow and prob made me look fat...

 

I can't get a cruiser yet...not old enough. And if I did, it would be something like a V-Max!
