WTB Shorter Front & Rear Shocks
Looking at lowering my R1100S. It sits a bit tall for my inseam. Anyone have a set of shorter shocks laying around that they wouldn't mind parting with? If so, what do you have, what's the history/mileage, and how much do you want for them?

I know it's unlikely to find a set laying around, but if there is a set out there available...

Unfortunately, the R1100RT shocks (even short versions) are longer than the stock length for the R1100S. Thanks for the tip though. I forgot about checking those listings.

Presumably, you've already "lowered" your S by making sure that you have the stock, non-BCR torque arm on the rear? And you don't have your preload cranked way up, either, right?
What inseam are you trying to fit the bike to?

Yep. Got the right torque link on (which didn't make much difference) and have the preload at a level where sag does what it can for me. I'm a 30" inseam.
