    Hey, guys, does anyone know if the 86-87 VFR700/750 rear shocks will interchange with the 87-ish CBR600 Hurricane?

    Are you saying the hurricane shock was too short? It should be easy to make it longer if you can cut and weld metal.

    Now if it were too long, that's when things get tricky.

    Gen 2 shocks are a bit of a pain because they are so unique and space is at a premium in that area of the bike. Jamie would be my first call.
