    I have a 73 Husky with 74 forks. I'm wondering what you folks would recommend for shock length.
    The bike is used mostly for Vintage Hare Scrambles and a little MX. I am closer to a Novice than Intermediate rider.
    Any opinions are appreciated.

    As I recall I had 12" S&W on my 69 360 Sportsman so 13" shocks will work unless you have an LTR mod .

    Hey Gord, My 75 has 13 1/2 fox shocks. My 73 has some 13 jap shocks. Might be off a road bike. They came on another bike I bought.
