Shock springs? need help sourcing springs!

[andrew]

test fit these cb900f shocks on my cb350 and am having height issues. took them apart and polished/painted them anyways. everyone loves pictures. ;D

now heres where i am having issues. back when i bought the shocks, i tried to test fit them with no luck. they are too tall. when i tried to fit them, the bolt head holding my rearsets onto the passenger peg mount hits the swing arm as the height difference brings the swing arm down and into the rearset bolt. does anyone have a good source for springs? the stock cb900f spring dimensions are: 9 1/4" tall, 1 3/4 top ID, 1 1/2 bottom ID. i need a spring that is about 8 3/4 tall with the same ID as the stock springs. anyone have any insight or sources?

And that will reduce shock travel by how much?

What if you use the 350 springs on the 900 shocks?

looked at them already, they are way too short.

Different springs will not make the shocks shorter. It will just make them sag. They will still extend to full length on rebound.
