  Hi, do you know about any aftermarket shocks that would be shorter than original but still work well as far as suspension go? Or shocks from different bikes that would fit. 
  I'm trying to lower the rear a couple inches, every suggestion will be greatly appreciated, thanks.

  Hey mate, I've installed the YSS RE302-270T-03 on my Honda and it looks awesome. It has 10,5". I've posted some photos in the new members section, take a look.

  Hope it helps🤙

  Thanks, but yours is 750. 600 have got a mono shock, and it's already ba out 10.5 inches.

  @jebek I think Barons makes a lowering kit for the mono shock on the 600, but other than that you would need to order a custom shock from someone like Hagon.
