Shocks strut different length

[CB750TOM_imp]

So the strut length is the same, just their location in space off the center line of the bike is different?

I think the word strut threw you off. The op probably should have said shock mounting stud or attachment point or something. Both shocks themselves are exactly the same.

Yup, top mounting stud is correct. Makes sense that it is because of chain.
