DCC Shocks

[CALfeRacer]

I'm looking at a set of DCC shocks for my CB125 Build and was wondering if anyone had experience with them. I want something slightly longer than stock and something that can handle my weight a little better than stock, and these seem to fit the bill. If they're good quality then I'll get them. So, any input from people who have experience with these would be greatly appreciated!
Here's the link to them: http://www.dimecitycycles.com/12-75-inch-retro-slim-black-chrome-eye-to-eye-rear-motorcycle-shock-absorbers.html

Why longer? A stronger spring would help with it, a longer shock allows longer wheel travel, which may cause the chain to hit the fork, or the case covering the sprocket.

The right rate spring would allow the correct ride height with a heavier load. Raising the rear shortens the trail and may cause adverse handling, wobbles, etc....

The shocks I'm looking at are something like 14mm longer than shock, which I figured wouldn't be a big deal and it shouldn't mess with chain alignment if its that small of a difference. I think it might have been to compensate for my previous seat/tail design and that idea is just stuck in my head.. even though I'm back to a stock(ish) fender. Also, I'd like to lift the rear a little to compensate for the slightly longer 200 front end that I put on, which has lifted the front a little (even with about 7/8") slid up in the trees. Sitting on it feels like the bike is sort of leaning back( (could have something to do with the saggy rear shocks)

You are best off calling hagon. Tell them your height and weight, and what bike. They will set you up.

I bought the blk 12.5" (progressive knock off),shorter than a sock height. I've road them two years with no complaint. I'm 175#. "Two up" I have seen some sag (touched my fender a couple of times on bumps) and on large bumps "one up" you will definitely see a dip. But all together I'm satisfied with them.

albeit they were not that much $$$.
i am fairly sure are the same make as the dcc ones (ie China) and they are stiff as fuk.
hitting a pothole hurts my back if im not expecting it. they suck, and i notice no dampening but i am inexperienced with this stuff.

i second the notion for Hagon shocks. id get some if i had the money and cared enough to do so.
