It would be much appreciated if someone could give me the measurement of a stock 1975 cb550 from the ground to the top eyelet of the rear shocks.

Thank you sirs

Wouldn't this measurement vary by shock preload, tire size, and tire wear? Dan

I would ask why not seek the stock length of the shock, and prefer the ground-to-eye measurement? What is it that you seek to determine and why?

I'm building a new back half of the frame and I forgot at get that measurement. This measurement works as a reference telling me how many inches higher my new rear end is. I'm wanting the keep the same angle on the swing arm.

Nobody can get this simple measurement?

Apologies, my bike is not stock rear. And my other doesn't have stock tires.
