No.13, or are your rear shox a bit on the long side? In the photo, even with the bike on its centre stand, it looks as though both wheels are still in contact with the ground. Having been down this road myself, it gave all manner of problems, so much so that they were sent back for a refund while the old ones were refitted until I managed to locate a pair which were a perfect copy and the correct length. I hope I'm wrong! Regards, Mick.

They are the correct replacements from DS Mick. The bike is on its side-stand in picture 13, hence both wheels on the ground. It's on the centre stand in Pic.12 (offside) and it does indeed look like the rear wheel is touching, so I guess it's an oddity of the lens/angle combination. The rear wheel is definitely clear of the ground when it's on the centre-stand.
