Any suggestions on shorter aftermarket shock? - FLYTYM_imp - 05-21-2018
I plan on lowering the back of this bike a lot and need some shock suggestions,I believe the stock length is 340MM correct?

This thread, first post, mentions using Triumph shocks. http://cb1100forum.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=9190 On the second page of the thread lowering links and a source are mentioned.
I think a few members have used the Triumph shocks but I didn’t feel like reading all the search results

Might be worth working out the ideal length of shock you need and asking a manufacturer what they have that will fit our bikes. Hagon in the uk have been very helpful to me and I know they have an outlet in Cali. Could save you a lot of sucking and seeing...

A good damper/suspension expert might be able to shorten the original damper rods and provide matching springs.

Stock 2013 CB1100 shocks are 360mm eye-to-eye length. There's no shortage of used 340mm long Bonneville (pre-2016) shocks out there. I've actually used them on several other bikes with fine results. I've bought them for as little as $30/pair.
The lower rubber bushing on the CB1100 is a larger ID than the top as I recall, and that's not normal so you may have to swap some bushings around.
I have a pair of 365mm Triumph Thruxton (pre-2016) shocks on my 2004 Bonnie and they improve the Bonnie's handling markedly. I might try them on the CB1100.
It would be difficult to take the stock shocks apart because there should be a jam nut above the rubber bumper, all covered by the shroud.
