I would think so, but there are guys on here that have changed theirs and know a lot more than me about it. Also, metric to inch converters are all over the internet. Just Google it.

Here is a how to by Tink, but is for the DLX. Might be fun to look at though. http://cb1100forum.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=3773

Edit: I think I already posted that link, in this thread no less. Sorry.

You can measure in inches and convert to millimeters by multiplying by 25.4.

Yes, thanks again though for the thread link. I did look over TINKS thread there.
Still trying to determine what the DLX shock length is vs standard. Assuming its a little longer for the additional weight? I think I've read hundreds of little posts and threads and have learned a lot and the next step is to pick up the phone and call a suspension guy, pick his brain, and order some shocks...
70 degrees today and 60's all week here in South central PA so I will get out and do some more 'testing" of the OEM units.

Thanks Kenny, that sounds like something smart people do, but I will try to figure it out...

Basically, if your tape measure reads 14-1/2", multiply 14.5 * 25.4 = 368.3.

If that doesn't work for you, this:

There is no difference in the length and spring rate between the 2014 Std and Dlx, The only difference is that the Std has black springs and the Dlx are chrome.

Just looked at my DLX spring and they are grey in color, not chrome. Is this not correct??

Team, did you buy new? You might have aftermarket shocks. Can you post up a picture?

Great, good to know. Will make it easier when ordering. I gather that with Ohlins I need the HO 011 for chrome springs, non piggy back. Also I gather that for my weight (165lbs) I need a spring rate of 01 (vs 03 riders around 200lbs or so.) This just from reading through tons of posts and I will confirm with an Ohlins guy as soon as my Paypal account has $950 in it, which will be soon as I just sold some parts....
I think they are around 360+ mm in length.
Don't quote me on this stuff until I confirm. Any input appreciated.

Team, did you buy new? You might have aftermarket shocks. Can you post up a picture?

Bought new, everything on bike as delivered. Color of spring is really metallic silver, not grey. Will try and post pic.

Ok, so the spring itself is silver paint. I stand corrected.
