Will the tyre clear??? Please help. Start again.
royhall:
Shock extenders or longer shocks may appear to be an easy route out of the problem. But beware that you will be jacking the back up and that changes the geometry so it may end up killing the handling, or even worse be dangerous. Get Hagons expert advice on it first.

It's my first call this morning royhall.
I'm thinking of increasing the shock length from 340-370 the dropping the rear tyre from 110/90/18 to 110/80/18. That will get me the 40mm I need but I'll see what Hagon say first.
Any other ideas out there?

Dropping the tyre size from /90/ to /80/ will only give 5mm difference and then it depends on the profile

Thank you trigger, the folks on here are tip top.
Spoke to Hagon. Very knowledgeable and helpful.
So information I've gained. You need to allow 80mm travel but Hagon can build you a shock with 60mm on top of this you need to allow another 10mm. So always aim for 90mm (just like yozzer said) for tyre profiles as same tyre sizes don't equate to same size profiles.
Looks like I'm going back to the madness room.
